SUMMARY:March Forum: Promoting Leicester - A City of History and Progress
DESCRIPTION:Location: Leicester Adult Education College  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the March Forum \n\n\n\nPresented by Dr Sally Ann Hartshorne \n\n\n\nWhen the broadcaster Ray Gosling visited Leicester in the 1960s he said that if he had to show an American in one day what England was all about he would take them to Leicester as ‘it has all of old England\, our heritage\, well-kept and cared for but without the olde charm of a Canterbury.’  Yet he also bought a postcard featuring an image of the newly opened Lee Circle car park\, which represented a very modern up-to-date city.  This session will consider how the balance of the history and progress of Leicester has been promoted to visitors and residents since the council established its Publicity and Development Committee in the 1930s. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter \n\n\n\nSally Ann Hartshorne completed her doctoral thesis ‘City of History and Progress’: Heritage and Urban Development in Leicester 1934 to 2010‘ in the Centre for Urban History at the University of Leicester.  She is the author of ‘Urban history ‘on the go’: Discovering and developing Leicester’s cultural quarter’\, published in Urban History (2020) and a Trustee for Leicester Civic Society. \n\n\n\nEvent Details  \n\n\n\nThis is an in-person Forum. There will be tea and cake before the Forum from 6.15 pm. The talk will start at 6.30pm and finish by 7.45pm. Venue TBC.  \n\n\n\nGet tickets  \n\n\n\nTo help us with catering numbers\, please book your place for this free event here.
