Alan Cleaver In Conversation with Mark Richards

Tuesday 13th May, 7.30pm

Cakes & Ale Cafe, Carlisle

Alan Cleaver’s new book, The Postal Paths, looks at the routes walked six days a week in all weathers by rural postman. Since the 1970s, the routes have been served by vans but the postman’s paths still remain and are public footpaths. Alan will talk about the Cumbrian paths, the people who walked them – and whether the handwritten letter will even survive in the digital age. He is joined by Cumbrian artist Mark Richards who has illustrated the book.

Please note – This is an e-ticketed event and books can be collected on the night or beforehand from Bookends Carlisle.
