Portillo visits Kelham Island and 'the city's looking good'
In May 2022 I was leading a private walking tour when we spotted Michael Portillo filming outside Globe Works in Kelham Island. It’s now finally (briefly) appeared on screen in episode 3 of the latest series of Great British Railway Journeys where he also visits knife manufacturers Samuel Staniforth and the Cutlers’ Hall.
Kelham Island Walks update - July 2021
With Covid restrictions lifting and walking tours finally getting underway on 17th July, it felt like a good time for an update on some of the things that Kelham Island Walks has been doing over the last year. The first walk dates were unveiled in April and the first of these dates are already fully booked and some of the other walks only have a few spaces left. If you haven't booked a slot yet, then you need to get in quick. It'll be great to finally be able to take people round Kelham Island and show it off to visitors.
