About the speaker:

Alan Gartrell has given informative tours of Abney Park for many years now. His topics cover a huge range from the history of Hackney's MPs to Abney Park's missionary links. He very modestly says he is not a historian, just a few clicks ahead of everyone else on Wikipedia.

The tour will last around 75 - 90 mins.
Please arrive 5 minutes early for the 2pm start.
Please wear suitably sturdy footwear.
There are no toilet facilities available.

Please check your emails on the morning of the event - we may need to cancel at short notice if the weather is adverse.
