Description
THE POLITE TOURIST PRESENTS:
AN EVENING WALK IN YORK - WHO HIDES BENEATH?
As the solstice beckons and through the stone arches of old bridges in the ancient City of York, the well-worn steps and along the cobbles of a riverside path steeped in history AND heartache - why not come along and listen to The Polite Tourist one summer evening as they share with you the tales of those ordinary folk including the story of the disgraced bigamist, a young rivet heater, another desperate young mother and the tragedy of a quarrelsome soldier.
Hear also of the poignant tale of the unhappy bride and the mystery which surrounds the fate of a young servant.
And ALL lost to history – until now!
THE POLITE TOURIST OFFERS CRIME WALKS THROUGH THE ANNALS OF VICTORIAN HISTORY.
THROUGH YORK. THROUGH SCARBORO' AND BEYOND.
As dusk beckons, and as The Polite Tourist peels back the long shadows which lurk just out of view – find yourself spirited back to the cruel streets and darkened passageways of a Victorian world and to a place where death was ever present.
And as you walk along the old, unquiet streets and through the dark and crooked labyrinths to a Victorian yesteryear of death and despair, crime, disorder, murder and mayhem – the long forgotten tales of those folk who once claimed these streets as their own will be revealed.
Innovative, meticulously researched and inspired by true crime stories from the Victorian era – our walks are designed to offer an informative and unique experience with a professional and spirited storyteller.
YOUR STORYTELLER -
The celebrated Lady Brigante – a sleuth of infamy, wanderer of unquiet graveyards and the bête noire of the long forgotten dead.
