You are invited to the launch of Walkley Historians' new book 'Victorian Walkley: the origins of a Sheffield suburb.'

The launch event will feature short talks by members of Walkley Historians about different aspects of Walkley’s Victorian history, refreshments and traditional music from Peter Smith and Friends.

There is also the chance to buy the first copies of the book at a special launch price of £10. Copies will then be available to buy from Beeches of Walkley and Walkley Library.

The book has been a three-year labour of love for members of Walkley Historians and has been funded by Lottery Players through the National Lottery Heritage Fund and is part of the Walkley Historians’ three-year Streets of Walkley project.

As well as the book, the Historians have held a Victorian Fair, storytelling sessions about pubs in pubs, a series of temporary exhibitions, school activities and the Walkley History Mystery whodunnit trail, which is available from Walkley Library.
