Walking Greenford-Your Voice Your Town

Our focus for each area we explore will be on how clean and pleasant (or otherwise) the area feels to the participants and to those we might meet.

The aim for all our walks is to find out about a lesser known area while bringing diverse people together to learn from and about one another.

The walks are short in distance with frequent stops and last about two hours starting at 11am on the day. They are followed by an optional stop at a local café to give people a further opportunity to socialize.

On the walks we will inform people about the history and all the changes that have taken place in the given area as well as seeking the opinions and observations of those present and their memories if they are older residents.

The walks will be led by Joanna Dudzinska, the founder of Talking and Exploring and of the Ealing Walking Talking and Exploring Group on Facebook, with the help of Anthony Smith and with the support from interested community members. The group is a space to keep in touch, share and to document our walks and events.

The two walks to take place are as follows:

The Oldfield Road South on Sunday July 12th. Meeting at the Holy Cross Church at 11am we will take a gentle stroll south to the Broadway with frequent stops on the way visiting what is here now and talking about what was.

Costons and Ruislip roads on Sunday August 16th. Meeting at Costons Nature Reserve followed by a short walk into the park then to Greenford Road and back to the Ruislip Road again with lots of stops and visits on the way

The walks are advertised on the Talking and Exploring’s Eventbrite page.

Usually we just offer general tickets but for these walks we have created both public and private tickets, with the private ones meant for individuals connected with local organisations who are or can be given the link for them. If you represent a local organisation in Northolt, please contact us or Your Voice Your Perivale team  for the link to obtain private tickets.

For each walk we would welcome the involvement of anyone who knows the particular area well. This is how you can reach us: https://www.talkingandexploring.online/contact.html.
