Box Library Local History Hub
10.30am 13 February 2025 The first meeting of the Box Library History Hub in 2025 will feature a talk about the roads, footpaths and byways that we use everyday, Some routes evolved naturally, some were specially created and paid for by tolls on users. Other tracks declined to become droving routes or greenways in Box. Places will be limited by space in the library. If you want to attend the free talk Box Roads: Tracks to Tarmac please book by writing to us at [email protected] or by contacting Box Library. Admission is free and open to all who hold a Wiltshire library card (can be issued on the day at no cost). We look forward to seeing you there. |
