PEACE WALK around Dudley Town

For further information see below and please click here.

On July 11th DBIN is leading a Peace walk around 14 places of worship used by  different faiths across Dudley Town. This is a great opportunity to show that people from different faiths and none think peace in our communities is important.  It is something we all want and are working together to achieve.

Those joining the march have been asked to park at Stafford Street car-park and meet at St Thomas’s High St Dudley ( known locally as Top Church) at 7.00. The route is as follows :

Down The Inhedge to Cross Street.

Down Path to Wolverhampton Street/Trinity Road.

Up Wolverhampton Street and down Grange Road.

Onto Wellington Road then down to the Stourbridge Road.
 
 
Down Churchfields Road, Hope Street and then Vicar Street.
 
 
Back to King Street
 
Through the Town Centre to Castle Street and finally down Castle Hill to Central Mosque.
It should take about an hour and a half walking slowly and stopping sometimes to visit some of the places of worship.
 
Light refreshments will be on offer.
