The Earlsdon Heritage Trail
The Earlsdon Heritage Trail was conceived, developed and implemented by the Earlsdon 2000 Committee to commemorate the Millennium. The members of the committee were Michael Bennett, Sophie Bridger, John Gibberd, Cllr. Lindsley Harvard, Ian McNeil-Sinclair, Cllr. John Mason, Mary Montes, Dick Norman, Brian Quinney and Paul Shufflebotham.
Mary Montes, a local historian with extensive knowledge of Earlsdon’s history, wrote a small booklet The Earlsdon Heritage Trail recounting the history of twenty of the most significant buildings in Earlsdon. The booklet included a map with the location of each building and a commemorative plaque was placed on each building. A plaque with the map was also placed on Earlsdon library.
