Within that area, Mr. Martin explores the riverside buildings and open spaces on either side of the Ouse. Following the talk there will be the opportunity to take a look at the Bishopthorpe Community Archive and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. The meeting will be held on Thursday, 29th October, at 7.30 pm at the Bishopthorpe Methodist Church Hall, Copmanthorpe Lane. A small entry charge will be made.
