About this walk

From a farm-field rocket launch to the town that remembers it

Water, brick and labour built Auburn. All three are still visible if you know where to look. Four stops over 3.5 miles, about 23 minutes of driving. Each one starts talking the moment you reach it, so you can keep your eyes on the street instead of a screen.

There is no start time to make — walk it in one go, or leave the rest for another afternoon.
