Derwentwater Historic Whitehaven Walk

Class: Mr Carruthers - Derwentwater Year: 2023 - 2024

Derwentwater travelled back in time today!  We had a walk around Whitehaven and looked at all the primary and secondary evidence of the town's past.  We even met a ghost of a Town Crier from 1778, and we got to see a dagger that was left behind by John Paul Jones!

The whole town is full of history right beneath our feet (literally in terms of all the mines and mining artefacts!)

 

A memorable day that will go down in history!
