Britain's What's On Event Guide
Industrial Alston Walk
Heritage Open Day: Learn about the important industrial sites that have existed in, and influenced, the landscape and architecture of Alston. Alston Moor is known mainly for being one of the chief lead-producing areas in the country since Roman times, but there were other industries, iron mining, zinc mining, stone quarries, lime burning, the woollen factory that became a war-time munitions factory, and the Nent Force Level, the underground canal, and there is of course the story of the railway line which served them all.
