22.03.20, 10.04.20 Rambles around Rawdon
As I explained in my initial Blog entry, Rawdon is made up of several constituent parts. This entry will cover the area around Micklefield Park, Harrogate Road - the village green and Quaker Meeting House. Also Little London a village in its own right. The current "crisis" has afforded me the opportunity to explore Rawdon from the historical perspective guided by the publication "A History of Rawdon - persons, places and prejudice " by DC Willcock.
One of my earlier rambles (date 22.03.20) took me downhill in the opposite direction of the Billing. Almost immediately below my house are playing fields for a primary school which has since relocated and the Victoria allotments established in 1920 and celebrating it's 100th anniversary this year.
