Let’s get walking!

The next Jane’s Walk Nottingham will be led by Simon Middlecote, Architect and resident of Abbey Park, West Bridgford. The walk will pick up on the theme of “How We Dwell” as we walk through this quietly innovative 1970s housing estate.

We will consider how housing changed radically in the second half of the 20th Century and yet how some developers and designers kept true to principles of community life, public space, and the creation of opportunities for neighbourliness. What can we learn from Abbey Park- from permeable fences to Ladies that Lunge, what is it like to live here?

The walk is free, open to all and will follow a fully accessible route on public streets. The walk will take around 90 minutes including stops to chat about the things we see and to hear from local contributors.
