Leicester 1923 – as the City emerges from a Pandemic and a War
16/12/2023 @ 10:30 am – 12:00 pm
Led by Jim McCallum
10.30 am, Saturday 16th December 2023.
Meet outside Curve Theatre. Approximate duration 1.5 hours.
A Christmas stroll through Leicester looking at how the city was 100 years ago – coming out of the First World War, a flu epidemic and gaslight to the age of the flapper, increasing mechanisation and the cinemas and dance halls of the time. We step back in time taking in aspects of life in Leicester in 1923: housing, industry, faith, entertainment, shopping, transport, education, politics, welfare, technology and social trends.
