Marple Civic Society's Social Evening - 8th October 2015

The society's annual social evening will take place this Thursday, 8th October 2015 at 7.30pm in Marple Library.

Our speaker for the evening is Anthony Burton, formerly a curator at the Victoria & Albert Museum, who will talk about 'Marple's Architecture'

Aqueduct House - built 1812

In 1993 the civic society arranged a photographic exhibition of Marple's listed buildings: this talk aims to update, extend and contextualise this survey. It deals almost entirely with domestic buildings (there are few public buildings in Marple), ranging from seventeenth-century farms, through housing in the industrial period (for bosses and workers), and commuter villas spreading with the railways, to recent estates.  

Join us for a glass of wine, a fascinating presentation and a congenial evening.
