Ormskirk Town Trail.


This week we are welcoming our new recruits to their PGCE Primary Education course. History sessions begin next week, however, before that, some trainees will take part in the Ormskirk Town Trail at the launch event this Friday. This is a chance to acquaint themselves with their new location as well as an opportunity to 'bring history alive' and introduce historical ideas and themes for the year ahead.

As the name suggests, the trail is a walk around the town centre of Ormskirk. We will investigate the Saxon origins of the town and consider the agricultural nature of the town's past as well as looking at local industries (such as gingerbread).

The forecast is for a dry day and it promises to be a great morning.
