About this Event

Jackie, our knowledgeable Exeter Local History Society member, will lead us on this summer walk around Newtown, starting at the Waitrose car park.

Newtown is, in fact, one of the older parts of Exeter and consists of the area between Polsloe Road, Blackboy Road, part of Western Way, and the north of Magdalen Road.

We will not be covering the whole area, but Jackie will try to give us some of the history of Newtown, ending at the very newest building - St Sidwell’s Point at about 4.00 (to get tea and cake if you wish)

There will be a £5 charge for tickets for members and non-members, and numbers are limited. Book early to avoid disappointment.

More information about the Society and its events can be found on the Society's website at www.exeterlocalhistorysociety.co.uk.
