To celebrate our new book “Nothing to do in Chorlton” which will be in the shops later this month, Peter Topping and I plan one of those popular and much loved history walks, where we walk our past, aimed at showing you just how much history you can do in Chorlton.

Along with a sideways look at the Meadows and Chorltonville we will take in two historic pubs, the old village green and the Narnia Lamp post.

| Andrew & Peter doing nothing 2021 |
All of which feature in the new book, predicated on that simple Italian idea that it is sweet to do nothing, and instead sit on a bench and take in all of Chorlton's history, from a burial scandal to the great Chorlton Church schism and the man who stole the village green.
Amongst which will also be the Highland visitation and a lost watercourse.
