New Towns with Su Fitzpatrick, (York St Johns University)
New Towns, their origins, design, construction and evolution are part of our shared cultural heritage, but they are not really acknowledged as ‘heritage’ in quite the same way as other eras and events further back in history. What can we gain from recognising the Galleries Shopping Centre, Princess Anne Park, or the Nissan Plant as heritage? Su Fitzpatrick, a Geography lecturer at York St John University, wants to hear your views on this and other areas during a talk about her research on Washington and Warrington in the North West.
