RADIO Northwich is set to air the second episode of its historical series, Northwich Now and Then.
Broadcasting on Friday, May 1, at 1pm, the programme explores Medieval Northwich, highlighting the town's development from Roman times to the present day.
Listeners are promised an entertaining and informative journey back in time, brought to life through interviews and a micro-drama with voice actors bringing alive the people of the time.
The series is presented by Mike Cooksley, who notes that: "As well as being informative, we want to make the programmes entertaining for listeners.”
The episode features local historian and author Tony Bostock, alongside archaeologist Giles Rigby, who will guide listeners through the historical tapestry of Medieval Northwich.
Their insights aim to illustrate the everyday existence of the time and show how remnants of history can still be seen today.
Cheshire Museums Service and the Weaver Hall Museum, on London Road, are also working closely with the series.
Each month, artefacts from the era discussed in the show will be displayed at both the museum and the Radio Northwich studio at Barons Quay.
The next programme, and those following, will be aired on the first Friday of each month from April to December, so people are encouraged to tune in and immerse themselves in Northwich's historical journey.
