Videos
Have you watched any of our online videos? Don’t miss out! Today I am recommending a film by Linda Bankier about the Greenses. This fascinating video examines the lives of Greenses residents as well as the buildings they lived in. Visiting the former Workhouse and the Pilot Inn Linda Bankier leads you on an enjoyable walk around an often forgotten area of the town. (Click here to view online videos)
