0825 Peter Clarke Memorial Walk: The city of Holmes and Soames revisited 44 years on
Thursday 17 July 6.30pm to about 8.30pm

A walk around the City following the steps of Peter Clarke's original Victorian Society walk of 1964 seeing what has changed and what remains the same, using the original notes.

Peter Clarke was an early member of the Victorian Society who invented the idea of the 'architectural walk'. This walk, in his memory, will be led by his son, Peter, and Richard Guy Wilson, Professor of Architectural History at the University of Virginia. We shall see how the 20th and 21st centuries have changed the Victorian City that was the subject of Peter Clarke's original walk. We shall also note where some new buildings have come and gone since 1964 while their Victorian predecessors remain. Meet on the steps of the Royal Exchange, London EC3. The walk will also end here. Walkers will receive a copy of Peter Clarke's original notes. Booking required. £8.
