Those that recall the colourful 12-year reign of Britain’s first female prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, will find a fine model of her vision for Britain in the pleasing red-brick town of her birth. Baroness Thatcher first came into the world above her father’s grocery shop at 2 North Pde, now a chiropractor’s clinic with a modest plaque to signify its former inhabitant. Sir Isaac Newton was also born and raised in the vicinity, and his statue stands erect in front of the guildhall; as yet conspicuously unaccompanied by a statue of Maggie.
The tourist office (406166; [email protected]; St Peter’s Hill; 9.30am-4.30pm Mon-Fri, 9.30am-1pm Sat) is in the guildhall complex.
