GHOSTS AND MURDERERS WALK REVIEW

If you haven't been on one of Janet Nelson's "Ghosts and Murderers" walks, I thoroughly recommend them. The one and a half hour walk takes in many familiar Lancaster centre locales such as Lancaster Castle, the Covell Cross and SugarHouse Alley but puts them in a new light, her informative revelations supported by some humorous improvised theatre.

Did you know, for example, that author Robert Graves was stationed in Lancaster during the First World War -- or that one room in the Three Mariners is always clean as if invisible hands dust it every night?

There were at least two locations on the walk I must walk past every day but had never noticed -- and yet they have a fascinating story behind them.
