In November, a new edition of The Quality of Leicester was launched. The book traces the city’s architectural heritage from its origins in the late Iron Age through to the modern day, capturing a fascinating history of social, cultural and economic change. It features hundreds of buildings, as well as streets and parks, highlighting their local importance and exploring the part they have played in shaping the unique character of Leicester. The new book has been written by Michael Taylor, a town planner and building conservation specialist, who wrote the original edition back in 1993. More details available here.
