About this book
Starting at the Three Crowns Inn, Susannah Watts leads a visitor through Leicester’s streets, trade and surviving traces of the past. This guide connects a walk around town with accounts of Roman remains, local buildings and commercial growth. A Roman milestone prompts discussion of inscriptions and the protection of antiquities, while the canal wharf brings coal deliveries, transport costs and the needs of a growing population into view.
The route also reaches quieter ground at Ruding’s Walk, where trees frame views of churches, villages and mills. Returning towards the river and the Jewry Wall, Watts records both visible details and competing explanations of older structures. Her attention moves easily between useful directions, historical discussion and reflections on change.
