Start: Binks Yard Bar, NG2 3BJ

Duration: 5 hours

Distance: 6.5 km

Highlights: abandoned historic buildings, architecture gems, conservation, urban exploration.

Zig Zag Tours have been busy working behind the scenes and have secured access to some abandoned historic buildings unseen by the public. All will be revealed on the day… but it is safe to say unless you are a seasoned urban explorer or a criminal looter then you will not have been inside these historic buildings. Aside from a celebration of the buildings' architectural and historic significance, we will undertake a deeper investigation into why these historic buildings stand empty: why were they abandoned? Why has nobody converted them to modern use? And the most important question of all… what is a conservation deficit?

All will be revealed on the day. Hard hat and hi-vis essential (a bike helmet and reflective cycling jacket will do!) so join us to step inside the unknown…
