Enjoy a guided walk around Nottingham City Centre with Dr Chris King.

Explore places of health, illness and pollution in the pre-modern urban landscape. Were medieval towns really as dirty and disease-ridden as popular myth would have us believe? How did Nottingham make use of its caves for managing waste and disease?
