The Round Church, Bridge Street, CB2 1UB
Join us on a tour exploring the historic connections between Cambridge and the British Empire.
This tour outlines local entanglements with the transatlantic slave trade, and takes a close look at controversies surrounding museum collections and the development of certain academic disciplines over time. Walking through the beautiful city centre, participants will learn more about the local history of imperialism and will be able to reflect on current issues that impact the city space.
Most of the route will be on flat terrain, with no steps, but there are some cobblestoned streets in the city centre.
