The Great Northern Eclipse – A Grand Day Out! – Martin Lunn

In 1927 a total eclipse of the sun, a rare and amazing sight, was observable from North Wales to the North East coast of England.  It was the first total eclipse seen in Britain for over two hundred years, and over a million people travelled north by train, charabanc and car to see a spectacular celestial event that lasted just thirty seconds.  Perhaps your grandparents were among them?  Join us in Brindle to hear the story of the 1927 eclipse.
