Spittal was once a seaside resort but also a place with an industrial past. Walk round and look for posters in windows, on a gate or lamp post with anecdotal and hearsay information from local residents, newspapers of the time, censuses and directory with extra historical facts thrown in for good measure.

You can begin the walk anywhere in Spittal, however, a good starting point is outside St Paul’s Church.
