Exploring Tottenham's Heritage A series of free events organised by the Tottenham Civic Society Since 2007, the Tottenham Civic Society has organised an annual programme of events which is open to both members and non-members. The programme includes walks, led by architects or other experts, around conservation areas, parks and housing estates, as well as visits to various buildings of interest both new and old. We think it's a good way not just to discover more about both the built environment around us and the cultures and histories it represents, but also to help us feel better about where we live -- and even to meet people with similar interests. The 2012 events programme is currently (January 2012) being worked up, and -- as in previous years -- will comprise a mixture of new ideas and judicious repeats of old favourites that you may have missed the first time around. Full details of the programme should appear here shortly, but irrespective of that we can confirm the first event of the year: the return of a very popular walk that when first run in 2009 attracted over one hundred people. Alexandra Palace to Bruce Castle: A walk across the old parish of TottenhamSunday 1 April Leader: Joyce Rosser, Heritage & Conservation Officer for the Haringey Federation of Residents Associations This walk, which starts from the base of the television tower at Alexandra Palace, goes through nine parks and seven conservation areas, takes in various listed buildings, and ends at the Grade I listed Bruce Castle Museum. Light refreshments will be available at Bruce Castle; walkers may wish to bring a packed lunch. Walk duration: approximately 2 hours. Meet at 11.100am at the base of the television tower, Alexandra Palace (W3 bus). Some photographs of the 2009 walk are available here. In the meantime, remember to keep checking back for details of the rest of the year's programme! Web pages copyright 2009-2012 by Ann Robertson and Joseph Nicholas |
