Parklife: Lincoln Arboretum, Boultham Park and Temple Gardens – the varied histories of three green spaces in Lincoln
Presented by Dr Andrew Walker
Lincoln is fortunate to have so much green space. In this illustrated talk, Andrew Walker will explore the history of three of the city’s historic parks, examining how and why they were developed, and considering their changing use over time. Along the way, mention will be made of a painted lion, Greek gods, colourful processions and mass gatherings, brass bands, balloons, fireworks, sugar beet, and fifty fearsome fairies!
Admission £4.00 SLHA – SLHA members £3.00. Book through Eventbrite or with cash in the Library. Pre-booking advisable
