New Park Heritage Walk

A walk around the suburb of New Park Harrogate, contrasting the area as it is today with photographs of how it was in the past.
About this Event

New Park was developed as an industrial suburb to Harrogate, effectively an independent community, which grew along the main Skipton and Ripon Roads in the 1840s. It was the location of the town's gas and electricity works plus quarries and an industrial laundry. Workers' housing was built and the district had a pub, shops, chapels, a school and an institute - and railway.
Walk with local expert Terry Williams as your guide to see how New Park evolved and remains a thriving community.

Please meet outside the main Skipton Road entrance to the Academy.
