Join us for a walking tour through Langside & hear the untold stories of the 22 men commemorated on the Battlefield West Church (now Langside Parish Church) World War I war memorial and about Langside’s contribution generally to the war effort. Hear too some less frequently aired stories of the time, about the major contribution made by the women of Langside during the years of conflict, and about the conscientious objectors and the Anti-War Movement. As we walk we will consider how the Langside of World War I would appear to us today, the similarities and differences, not just in the physical environment but in the sights, sounds and smells of the time. We also want to hear your stories and family memories too, to add to the growing picture of how Langside has grown and changed over the last 100 years. The walk will take in many familiar Langside locations along the way, with lots of stops at the homes of the characters featured in the stories.
Booking essential.
