As journey back in time to discover what Victorian times in Nottingham were like as it grew into a major industrial city. It became famous for its hosiery and lace industries but it also became known for its back-to-back houses in Narrow and Broad Marsh. Overcrowded parts of the city suffered from poor sanitation, ill-health and disease. Local history author and tutor Chris Weir uses maps, period photographs and other historical sources to explore how and why Nottingham changed in Victorian times. The course will also explore some key personalities of the time and how inner suburbs like The Park and Forest Fields changed from open spaces into urban communities.
