David Martin and Lee Wanger are writing a book, ‘The History of Tunstall Town Hall and Market’, that will be published later this year.
It will tell the story of the market founded in 1817, and the town hall opened by John Nash Peake in 1885.
To introduce local groups in Tunstall to a series of books they are writing about the town’s history, David and Lee have devised a free local history talk that includes:
- Tunstall’s two town halls and covered markets
- Tower Square and its markets
- George Thomas Robinson, the architect who designed the Market Hall
- John Nash Peake, the local politician whose vision created Tunstall’s unique Victorian Civic Centre
- Absalom Reade Wood, the architect who designed the town hall, the Jubilee Buildings and Tunstall Park
After the talk, those attending will be invited to share their memories of the town hall and the market with David and Lee. To arrange a free local history talk for your group, please email David at davidmartin227@outlook.com
