The walk around Żory 2 The new Żory
1. NEW ŻORY
With connection to the development
of the coal industry and the number
of people coming to the town, Żory
began to form new residential
areas which initially were called
„bedrooms”
Today these districts have changed
because the infrastrucure has
become more friendly to the
citizens of the town.
2. From school we walk towards the Town Hall-the residence of our town
president. Next we visit the sports centre where our pupils often do
sports.
3. The excavation after the old brickyard were nicely reconstructed and
now it is a place willingly visited by the citizens of Żory. Everyone will
find something for themselves there.
4. Crossing the Wodzisław Śląski Street, we reach the housing estate
which in the past was called XXX-lecie. Today it is called Księcia
Władysława. Władysław was a prince. Our hospital was located there.
5. We cross the next street and we are on Pawlikowski housing estate. The
wonderful Spotrs Court and the Town Library are loated there. Both of
them are willingly visited by our pupils.
6. Going towards the Sikorski housing estate we pass by the church of
Saint Stanisław.
7. We cross the next street and we are on the Sikorski housing estate.
The Avenue of United Europe is our destination.
8. We are coming back down the Avenue of United Europe. There are
huge rocks with the basic information about the coutries of European
Union.
9. Next, we go down the Avenue of John Paul II. And then again we are
on Księcia Władysława housing estate. There we find the court and the
monument of prince Władysław.
10. Going down the Boryńska Street we get to the headquarters of the
Police.
11. We are already on Wodzisław Śląski Street. The main attraction of the
street is the modern and beautiful swimming pool.
12. We pass the town market and then go towards the playground.
13. The trip is nearing the end. After crossing the street we enter the 700-lecia
housing estate. As usual we finish the trip at our school.
