Edward Elgar grey plaque

This grey commemorative plaque records: The Elgar Walk. To commemorate Sir Edward Elgar's many visits to Harrogate from 1912 to 1927 and his regular walk between the Hotel Majestic and Bog Field, this path was named the Elgar Walk in 1989. The first provincial performance of his second symphony took place in Harrogate in 1911.

Sir Edward Elgar was a prominent British composer of the late Romantic period, best known for works such as the Enigma Variations and Pomp and Majesty; he significantly contributed to reviving orchestral and choral music in Britain during his lifetime.
