Malcolm Saville Society ‘Café Event’ 3
How well did Saville know the Stiperstones area?
Lin Brown has been a Society and Committee member for many years and has worked in the Stiperstones area for 15 years, including as Director and Secretary of The Bog Visitor Centre.
She is very interested in the local history and her presentation included Saville's model for the Harman's General Store and for the aerial ropeway, which featured in Seven White Gates.
And, in considering the area and talking of her own research, she tackled the question: where is Barton Beach? Her answer surprised many members, who had always assumed that the small stores adjoining the Stiperstones Inn in Stiperstones village fitted the bill perfectly! She drew us away to a new location which is explained in the video of her talk in the Members Area Video Library of this website.
She was also happy to answer any questions about her talk, or the Stiperstones area in general, in the discussion which followed.
