Local History

The Clements Hall Local History Group is a group of people with wide-ranging interests in the local history of the neighbourhood – the Scarcroft, Clementhorpe and South Bank areas of York, to the south of the city walls and west of the River Ouse. Find out more on what they get up to on their website:

They have produced a collection of audio-guided local history walks. These are free guided walks on izi.travel which is an app which can be downloaded to a smartphone. The app then allows you to listen to commentaries while walking around the area. It tells you about significant features of the history of the area and shines a light on notable buildings. The app features a dynamic map, historic images and descriptive text and the commentary plays automatically as you arrive at a point.

So far the Local History Group has produced the following walks:

  • Hidden Clementhorpe
  • A Walk around South Bank in York
  • The Changing Face of York
  • Bishy Road in York: a Shopping Street in Time

Details of the walks can be found at:
