The Millennium Heritage Trail was established in 2000 to mark the arrival of that year. A local historian, the late Mary Montes, was invited to choose the sites that she felt were significant to the development of Earlsdon. The result is commemorated by a series of plaques placed at or near each of the sites, and a guide book which was available from a number of outlets in Earlsdon. This page is dedicated to Mary's memory.
