Written in kaleidoscopic prose, The North Road is an unforgettable exploration of Britain’s great highway.More about the book, The North Road by Rob Cowen:At the heart of this book is a highway. The A1; The Great North Road. A 400-mile multiplicity of ancient trackway, Roman road, pilgrim path, coach route and motorway that has run like a backbone through Britain for the last 2,000 years.In this genre-defying and profoundly personal book, Cowen follows this ghost road from beginning to end on a journey through history, place, people and time. Weaving his own histories and memories with the layered landscapes he moves through, this is the story of an age, of coming to terms with time past and time passing, and the roads that lead us to where we find ourselves.About the event:Join us from 6.30pm for a welcome reception with complimentary hot chocolate, tea and coffee available for purchase.The talk will begin at 7pm and will be led by Nick Newman.Rob will be signing and dedicated copies of his book at the end of the evening.Accessibility notice:Our shop has step free access from the street.We have two customer bathrooms (baby changing facilities are on the ground floor).A customer lift is available and the customer cafe (located on the first floor) closes at 5pm.Waterstones staff will be on hand throughout the event to support with queries and queue management throughout.Unfortunately, there is no access for cars down Coney Street until 6pm this includes Taxis.For accessibility support please email:events.york@waterstones.com or telephone 01904 620 784 https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/9ece7230-7596-11f1-b452-0f2e0e513fce-rimg-w740-h740-dc050403-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/9f17d740-7596-11f1-a6ed-5146a8713f7b-rimg-w482-h740-dc32302c-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/york/an-evening-with-rob-cowen-at-waterstones-york/100001989091226403 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, health-wellness, meditation - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-07-02T17:30:00Z - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Waterstones - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 5, max: 11.99, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: York - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Waterstones - **lat**: 53.9592156 - **long**: -1.0841896 - **full address**: Waterstones, 15 Coney Street, York, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening with Rob Cowen at Waterstones York. - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/465aeca6aab2ed056dfc0b967cd8d151bbbc593eac1a0a1dfd3144a13a91fb95-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf3f3f3-gmir.jpg?v=1779010666 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Evening with Rob Cowen at Waterstones York. being held? - **A:** An Evening with Rob Cowen at Waterstones York. takes place on Thu, 02 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Thu, 02 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Waterstones, 15 Coney Street, York, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing An Evening with Rob Cowen at Waterstones York.? - **A:** An Evening with Rob Cowen at Waterstones York. is organized by Waterstones. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
