Tour Overview
A tour of Launceston’s architecture, from the 19th to the 21st centuries (Part B)
This is a walking tour in two parts of central Launceston's architecture, including buildings from the 19th to the 21st centuries. This is Part B (though you can do them in any order). The tour has been designed for architectural history students but others should find it interesting and enjoyable.
