Join archaeologist Mathew Morris to explore the unseen heritage of the city’s green spaces.
Leicester is home to more than 190 parks, community gardens, local nature reserves and green open spaces, but beneath their lawns and trees lies a remarkable hidden past.
Join archaeologist Mathew Morris to explore the unseen heritage of the city’s green spaces.
