Helen Fountain sets out on the Bishopthorpe History Trail.

Did you know that Bishopthorpe once had a village green or that one well-known building was originally built for the sole use of men?  Discover this and much more when you take a stroll through the village with a recently-launched history trail leaflet.  Called: "A Walk Through Time in Bishopthorpe", it has been produced by the Bishopthorpe Local History Group.  Pick up your free trail at the library, pubs, churches and Lister's Newsagent. 

Also - don't miss out on the display of old photographs of buildings featured in the leaflet at Bishopthorpe Library.
