Friday
17 October 7-9pm at Art Gene, the Nan Tait Centre, Abbey Rd,
Barrow-in-Furness, LA14 1LG.
What
lies under the dunes on Walney Island? Last month, volunteers, artists and
archaeologists used shovels, metal detectors, and bare hands to uncover a
long-hidden practice trench built by the British Army on Fort Walney to train
men before they went to war. Come along to this free presentation that will
show what they found and what it means.
Presented
by Art Gene with archaeologist Dr George Nash, the evening will include
talks, photos and actual artefacts. And there will be a chance to ask
questions and share your own knowledge of Fort Walney. Drinks and light
refreshments will be served.
The
event is free but you do need to book: Contact Nick
Owen at Art Gene on 07742 271570 or 01229 825085 or click here to email Nick.
Art
Gene is grateful to Heritage Lottery Fund, the Hadfield Trust, the Skinners'
Company Lady Neville Charity, Natural England and BAE Systems for their
support.
