‪A bit of Crosspool history has been uncovered in the precinct! Who remembers S. Palfreyman?‬

The two Crosspool history walks went ahead this week despite the drizzly weather.
28 people attended the Tuesday morning walk and 15 ventured out on Wednesday evening.
A big thank you to Jan Millward for a very interesting two-hour journey into Crosspool’s past.
The walks are part of the 2017 Crosspool Festival, which finishes on Sunday.
