What’s on
Report
Using old images, this walk will take you on a tour of the west side of Congleton. We will look at how this area of the town has changed over the past 100 years from large Georgian Mansions set in private gardens to rows of terraced cottages and modern housing estates. Reserve your place online with a free ticket and pay on the door.
