Please join us on 3 October for this fascinating easy urban walk.Our walk will take us through the town centre focussing on items of interest in the High Street and Hart Street. Brentwood is an historic ‘thoroughfare’ town that developed on the crossroads of the roman road from London to Colchester and the pilgrim route to Canterbury.
We shall then visit the Brentwood Museum which will be opened for us. On display are hundreds of household items reflecting everyday life in what became a comfortable dormitory town. There are also reminders of Brentwood’s military and industrial past, items from its famous schools and hospitals and this years’ exhibition on the subject of food. The museum is housed in the quaint little lodge of a Victorian cemetery. No longer used for new burials, it is now managed as a nature reserve with a beauty and tranquility all of its own as well as some interesting graves.
We will meet at Brentwood Museum, Lorne Road, Warley, Brentwood, CM14 5HH. Free parking is available for people booked on the walk that day courtesy of the museum; drive in through the gates and turn left after the Lodge building. It is a ten minute walk from Brentwood Station (Elizabeth Line); as you go up Warley Hill from the station Lorne Road is a turning on the right.
