A look at the history under our feet. Discover the social heritage that we walk over every day.

The 2022 Heritage Open Days Recurring Festival Favourite award winner returns! A walk around Endcliffe and Ranmoor looking at the remnants of Victorian infrastructure found on the street. Drain covers, tramway remains, early utility companies and power suppliers all left a mark that can still be found today. The walk will start and finish outside Next Chapter Books on Rustlings Road. The walk is mostly flat but weather suitable footwear is recommended.
