Monday 9 February:
‘A potpourri of Gentlemen's Residences'
A talk by Neil Collingwood.
​The silk industry made Leek mill owners very rich. Many built elegant ‘Gentlemen’s residences’ in and around our town. Neil will tell us the stories of some of the houses, the families who live there and what happened to them. An evening not to be missed!
7.30pm at Foxlowe in the Bromfield Room.
Doors open at 7pm. All Welcome.
