'Living Lincoln 1914-2024: A Literary Trail'
BGU is delighted to be designing a literary trail for the City of Lincoln's Festival of History which will be taking place 4th to 6th May 2024. The trail will follow in the footsteps of Lincolnshire author, Bernard Samuel Gilbert, who walked around the city 110 years ago. Gilbert described in rich and compelling detail many of the city's buildings and the life in the surrounding streets.
"The best times to explore Lincoln are before breakfast and after dinner. In the early morning you can see the place; at night the people..." Bernard Samuel Gilbert
The content of the trail is being designed by BGU's Professor Andrew Jackson (a Gilbert expert) and supported by fellow local historians of the Survey of Lincoln Project.
You will discover sites and sounds of the city that have inspired literature, and you will creatively reimagine our local past by following the tour virtually and on foot.
The trail will be published online before the Festival Weekend.
