Britain's What's On Event Guide
Alston Town Walk
Heritage Open Day: See the notable sites of Alston. Take this approximately 1-1.5-hour guided walk learning more about Alston, its buildings, and former inhabitants. Once known for its quaint cobbled front street, Alston still has a lot of quirky charm. There are signs of living upstairs, a tradition left over from the days of the reivers; evidence abounds of Anglicans, Wesleyans, Primitives, Congregationalists, Catholics and Quakers, while the Mill Race that flows under the town has its own story. Hear about the bank raid of 1949 in which two men were murdered and one committed suicide.
