Chris Matthews, a leading Nottingham local historian and co-author of Towns in Britain will be talking about the local history and the public engagement work he has been doing in collaboration with TravelRight in north Nottingham, namely Aspley, Bilborough, Bulwell, Beechdale, Broxtowe, Strelley, Cinderhill and Bestwood. He will talk about the making of TravelRight’s local history walking and cycling guides which, with their walks and other events, have drawn considerable new audiences towards an interest in the history of these overlooked areas. Chris will illustrate his talk with a slide show which has come out of this work

Juliet Line from TravelRight will also be telling us more about the organisation and its pioneering work in Greater Nottingham.
