21-06 The Maritime History of Arnside

Saturday 7th August, 2021 at 2:00 pm

Free

This walk will be lead by Alasdair Simpson and Mary Hamilton.

Alasdair is a member of Arnside Sailing Club and the Arnside Archive Group. Mary is a member of the Arnside Archive Group. Both were involved with obtaining lottery funding to bring the Crossfield-built yacht Severn back to Arnside in 2018.

The main theme of this circular walk through Arnside will be the maritime heritage of the village and how this has shaped its development, especially since the mid 19th century. During the walk we will point out some of the historical landmarks telling the story of this past. We will touch on the construction of the railway viaduct, the pier, the Albion pub and the role of the Crossfield family and their boat-building business.

Parts of this walk will be featured this Autumn in a BBC Villages by the Sea programme about Arnside.

This walk is suitable for dogs on leads.

This walks starts at 2pm and will take approximately two hours.
