Leicester Slums

Whilst taking my son round the New Walk Museum today (for the recently opened dinosaur exhibition), I happened across the 'What's On' booklet at the museum, I stumbled across this useful up coming event:-

Ned Newitt: Leicester Slums
Sunday 22nd April
3.00pm
Newarke Houses Museum & GardensThis popular and well-illustrated talk will provide a picture of a long vanished Leicester and should be of interest not just to historians and planners, but to anyone who lives in the inner city or has roots in Leicester. Ned Newitt's book on this subject was published last September by Breedon Books. Booking essential, £3.00 (refreshments included).

The information garnered from this talk could prove useful in establishing background into the city of Leicester.
