The Georgian & Regency Tour of Lancaster

The year is 1803. Farmer George has never visited his duchy of Lancaster but do not let that stop YOU. Lancaster is a town bustling with inns, a busy port, established market and the summer assizes...but it's also 'the hanging town.'

Amidst an air of classical respectability, this is a town with sinister origins and its own criminal underworld.

Explore Lancaster as it enters the modern age...but beware coachmen of ill repute.

Meet 'Johnny' Eccleston, coachman of the 'Perseverance' and your guide.

"I left the tour determined to research and find out more about the life and time of the people. So more reading for the coming winter months."
