This walking tour of the medieval streets of Nottingham will take you back in time to explore places of health, illness and pollution in the pre-modern urban landscape. What was the standard of health and medicine, and where did people go to seek treatment? And were medieval towns really as dirty and disease-ridden as popular myth would have us believe?
The tour is approximately 1.5 hours of walking and standing in a city centre environment and is suitable for those with moderate levels of fitness or mobility.
Start and end point: the Left Lion in front of the Council House in Old Market Square.
Dr Chris King is an Associate Professor in the Department of Classics and Archaeology.
Starts at 1:30pm.
