Harrogate’s Heritage Plaques

Bishop Monkton Village Hall, Knaresborough Rd, Bishop Monkton, Harrogate HG3 3TN
Have you ever wondered how the blue circular plaques get placed on buildings across the country?  In Ripon these plaques are green and in Harrogate they tend to be brown and square or rectangular. Chris Dicken will be describing his role in this process and how these plaques come to fruition, and how locations get selected.  He has devised a walking trail in Harrogate where you can follow these plaques and gain knowledge about the history of the buildings and people.   If you would like to find out more, his fascinating talk to Bishop Monkton Local History Group takes place in Bishop Monkton Village Hall at 7pm on Wednesday 22nd October. Tickets are £10 on the door - cash please.  For more information contact Annabel Alton annabel@annabelalton.com
