Have you ever fancied learning more about local history here in Leek?

Residents now have the opportunity to do just that by going on a historic Leek history walk.

The walks guide people around the town, discussing Leek's rich heritage going back over 800 years, and gives residents a chance to learn more about the history of where they live.

The walks, which take around 90 minutes, are delivered by local resident Bill Cawley.

Bill told Nub News: "It is a historic walk around Leek taking in the several hundred years of Leek history - a walk through 800 years of history."

The walks begin at the Nicholson War Memorial and cost £7 per person.

And the next walk is coming up soon - on Friday 15th October starting at 7:30pm.

Anyone who is interested should message Bill Cawley on Facebook.
