Sail West, Young Man! by David Shaw
Wades Green is the name of a small settlement near the village of Church Minshull, Cheshire.
Wade's Green is also a former plantation now used by the Turks and Caicos National Trust to celebrate emancipation.
The talk explores how, strangely, the two are linked via an 'ordinary' Cheshire farming family from Gawsworth, a newspaper advert, slavery, several cotton plantations and an unusual and unexpected inheritance.
Admission fee £2 - which includes refreshments
