So excited for this new @uoyborthwick.bsky.social project starting! Whilst @gbrannanarchive.bsky.social and I are on the Great York Walk on 17 May, catch @stephenleehodgkins.bsky.social and Griselda Goldsbrough on for the Walk of Alfred, and find out more about out what we're going to be up to!

In 1877 at The Retreat, York, Alfred Smith writes a diary. He notes many things, including his walks around York. To celebrate Alfred, and to explore his diary some more, we are retracing one of his walks.

Image of portrait shot of Alfred Smith, a victorian man sat in a chair wearing a suit. The words 'The Walk of Alfred' along with some of Alfred's handwriting in the background are included. Flyer with blue background, text reads; In 1877 at The Retreat, York, Alfred Smith writes a diary. He notes many things in detail. Like fixing his 8 day clock, seeing the new gas lights at the station, watching Fulford New Church go up in flames and buying a Portuguese onion. 'Awful accounts' from the Yorkshire Gazette about the battle of Waterloo, visits by government inspectors, New Lodge being built and a 'Racoon' in the back yard. Alfred's diary also includes a number of walking routes that he took around the streets and pathways of York. To celebrate Alfred, and to explore his diary some more, we are retracing one of the walks he did. The walk is approximately 2 miles, will take 2 hours, follow a level route and end back at The Retreat, Heslington Rd. This walk is part of 'Stories of Mental Health from York: Past, Present, and Future', funded by 'Mentally Fit York' at the Borthwick Institute for Archives.

Just over ONE WEEK to go before @gbrannanarchive.bsky.social and I take on another Great York Walk for Mentally Fit York! And it's going to be a warm one - eek! If you can spare anything at all there is still time to sponsor me. Please head to yustart.hubbub.net/p/lauray-wal... to donate! Thank you!
