Tuesday 18th September 2018 - Talk will begin at 7pm
Chris tells the story of how Nottingham changed from what Daniel Defoe described as ‘one of the most pleasant towns in England’ into a major industrial city.
The talk follows the fortunes of the hosiery trade, and the development of the giant lace industry with its fine warehouses on Stony Street and Broadway. Names like Birkins and Adams became leading names in the lace trade.
But alongside wealth came poverty riots and crime. Chris’ talk reveals the town’s underworld of Narrow Marsh and Broad Marsh. You will hear how rioters flooded into the market place, and about grim hangings outside the Shire Hall. There was never a dull moment in Victorian Nottingham!
Visitors can attend the talk at the cost of £3
