Walk Out 2: Enchantment and slavery

Beckford's Tower and grave. An inheritance.

 Meet outside 44AD Gallery

A second walk out on enchantment and slavery.  The homes of former owners of enslaved people who received compensation in the late 1830's are being tracked and this walk will again visit and identify some of them. Looking for contributions that might connect this to contemporary slavery... I wonder who lives in these mansions now...their servants today....any modern owners of enslaved people?  

Mainly pavement walking with a stretch of fields and wood as we head out to the picturesque.

Bring notebooks, phones, camera with a view to share, document and create.

We walk out through the Georgian glories of Bath looking for the homes of Bath slave owners. Find out what compensation they received for having to give up their ownership of enslaved people! Maybe you can add to that disenchantment of the City. We will walk on out into enchanted England via a short section of Cotswold Way and then up to BeckfordsTower for further thoughts on the origin of Beckford's wealth. Follow the money! Then make our way back into town exploring more points of view and contemporary resonances.
