Learning in Lincoln: A History of the City’s Education Buildings
Organised by the Society for Lincolnshire History & Archaeology (SLHA) and introduced by Dr Andrew Walker, this engaging and well-illustrated afternoon presentation will include a series of short talks by different speakers based on chapters in a new book ‘Learning in Lincoln: A History of the City’s education buildings’, recently published by the Survey of Lincoln. The talks will examine a wide range of the school buildings planned and built from the Victorian period to the end of the twentieth century. Schools familiar to children who were educated in the city in the twentieth century will be highlighted. In addition to exploring the city’s school buildings, speakers will explore how the city provided for learners beyond school age from the nineteenth century onwards. Copies of the book will be available for sale at the event. This event is organised by the SLHA in conjunction with The Survey of Lincoln and Lincoln Central Library. Everyone welcome - we look forward to welcoming you.
