Next Meeting - 21st July

Rhubarb, Royalty and the Rings of Saturn – David Lewis

A quirky but interesting title, I think you’ll agree.

David first became involved with local history in 2008 in a job for the Heritage Lottery Fund, to publicise the ‘Hidden Heritage of Selby’ by engaging with schools and local groups and develop tours around the town. More personal studies followed, with biographies of two significant Selby lads. The “Rhubarb…” talk is inspired by Robert Frost’s “A Road Less Travelled”. As David says, it’s all very well the likes of Michael Palin exploring the Silk Road and going round the world in 80 days…but who speaks for the backwater byways and cobwebby cul-de-sacs? David’s travelogue will reveal the history and heritage of an unassuming Yorkshire byway, the B1222.

Our meetings venue is: Moor Allerton Sports & Social Centre, Stonegate Road, LS17 6EL.
