I dug with the Field Unit in the late 1970s and early 1980s on sites including Bond Street, Blackfriars, Norfolk Street as well as out in the County at Sproxton, as well as post excavation at the Humberstone Annex. I knew Jean, Terry, Patrick (Cass), Richard, John, etc well at the time. I subsequently moved away from Leicester, digging in Lincolnshire, Shropshire, Northants and Hampshire. Nice to see my sites in context of what has been excavated since my time.
Wow! What an absolutely amazing, interesting, educational story this whole thing is, thank you for sharing Their must be many other cities like this sitting on top of ancient ruiens that will never be able to be uncovered and studied the way it was here
Really appreciate these videos presented by you, Mathew Morris. Incredibly interesting!
An interesting and educational programme. A delightful visit to our home town. Thank you so much for making this.

Proud to be from Leicestershire. I'd love more information on the Swithland wood slate quarries.
Nothing to be proud of, its a total dump from 50 years ago
@clivebaxter6354 you're correct 😂
Comprehensive and entertaining. Thank you
fascinating
One of my distant grandfather's was the Governor of Leicester castle mid 12th century. Sure he was just a peach
