Ghost Signs and Hidden High Street Heritage Walk

If you've not got green space on your doorstep, find out how getting a dose of fresh air along your local High Street can reveal much more than you might think.

Host Claire Hickinbotham joins a guided walk through one town centre to uncover the secrets that are hidden in plain sight in towns and cities up and down the country.

She sets off from Mr Straw's House, a visitor attraction in Worksop, and follows in the footsteps of the brothers who lived there and would go for a regular Sunday stroll.
