Grizzly Tales from the old Great North Road
Wednesday 27th October, 2.00pm to 3.00pm
Just a few tickets remain for Worksop Library’s heritage talk, ‘Footpads, Kings and Highwaymen’. The journey described by Ian Morgan covers just 34 miles following the old Great North Road through Nottinghamshire, and in that short distance you will see the scenes of horrific battles, the haunts of highwaymen, the sites of murder and much, much more. Get ready for a rollercoaster ride of horror and humour as the stories of this ancient highway unfold. Tickets for the talk are £3.00 and booking is highly advised (limited places).
