Guided History Walk: Agitating the Lawless Rabble

About

Sunday 28 July and Sunday 4 August 2024 from 2pm
Starts at the Left Lion
Free 

 

These guided walks around Nottingham city centre will be exploring some episodes related to Nottingham's proud tradition of independent bookshops and radical publishing.

Utilising primary sources, you will listen to the echoes of incredible people's voices and remember some of their courageous struggles, from Susannah Wright defending her bookshop against riled up bigots in the 1820s, to the community papers which fuelled grassroots resistance to the Poll Tax in the late 1980s and 1990s.

Featuring lots of original documents and Flying Faux Custard Pies!

Starting at the Left Lion and ending on Heathcoat Street – stick around to see the free exhibition 'Under the Rainbow – Documents and Artefacts From Five Decades of LGBTQ+ Struggle and Liberation'.

No need to register, just turn up.

Duration about one hour, route wheelchair accessible (but there are some hills along the way).
