Thank you for telling us what interests you about Letchworth’s past. Your top 3 topics were:

  • The unique story of Letchworth
  • Interesting buildings
  • My local area
  • There is plenty to get involved with coming up where you can explore more about Letchworth’s past. You could:

    1. Book on to a Letchworth Garden City walking tour with Josh (Heritage Manager) to learn more about the unique story of Letchworth and see some of Letchworth’s interesting buildings along the route.

    2. Pop in to reception at the Museum at One Garden City and pick up a walking trail map to learn more about Letchworth’s Cheap Cottages. While you’re out and about you could take a look at Eastcheap Studios’ Cheap Cottages installation in Garden Square Shopping Centre.

    3. Book on to an illustrated talk from Josh (Heritage Manager) to hear more about the 1905 Cheap Cottages Exhibition - a unique chapter in Letchworth's history with some fascinating innovations in architecture.

    4. Come along to see the Outdoor Museum over the summer to find out more about your local area. Follow the Museum team on Facebook or Instagram to find out where they will be and when.
