Walk, Broad and Narrow Marsh

 

This walk will be led by Chris Weir, starting at Fisher Gate Point.  It will reveal the character and evolution of this distinct part of Nottingham. At one time it was regularly flooded by the Leen and it became known as a very deprived area.  Yet it provided housing and work for hundreds of men and women, many living in lodging houses as their work was only occasional.  The walk will pass houses and other kinds of buildings that made up the area and along the way we will discover some of its many ‘characters. We will also see what remains of the old Broad Marsh Centre. The walk will last for 2 hours and will end at St Peter's Church.  We can then take lunch in a local hostelry.  The walk is free of charge.
