Come along to Willow House and learn about the Walmgate cattle market that was here from 1590 all the way until 1970!
During our Archaeology on Prescription excavations, we've been unearthing artefacts from the cattle market and butcher shops in the area as well as some of the houses they might have lived in. We've also been digging through the archives to find out more about the people who lived and worked in Walmgate throughout the centuries.
We'll have a finds table, archival maps and photos to look at, activities for kids (and the young at heart!), and site tours so you can see the actual trenches we're digging.
No need to book or sign up, just show up on the day!
