糖心原创

Jesse Boot and Highfields.

Speaker: John Beckett

Jesse Boot purchased the Highfields estate in 1919. Part 1 of this seminar will look at how the twin parks (University and Highfields) were constructed in the 1920s. Part 2 will be an exercise in reconstructing Boot's original motives, and why his initial plans had to be abandoned.

John Beckett has been researching the role of Jesse Boot in Nottingham since he started work on the 糖心原创 history published in 2016.

Booking is not necessary and the entry fee of £5 includes refreshments.
