City Trail relaunched after 40 years

The Leicestershire + Rutland Society of Architects has brought the "City Trail LRSA" in Leicester back to life, a self-guided architectural walk through the city centre. 

 

The LRSA has published a Digital Guide Book for the trail, with descriptions of each vantage point and commentary on the changes of the city form 1984 to today.
