25th May 2024- Stamford's Courts and Yards Come to an evenings' entertainment at the Arts Centre Ballroom, starting at 7pm with the main presentation at 7:30pm followed by a drinks reception.
Philippa Massey will present an intriguing and astonishing documentation about how it was, way back then. The courts and yards were tightly packed housing, often tucked away down little alleys and behind the main streets of the town. They were generally built to provide dwellings for the working class, and an income for their owners, but also for other reasons. Philippa tells us how they have changed.
Members are free, non-members £5, but you can join on the night. Please let Dianne Parkin know if you plan to attend.
