About This Event

Crime historian Adam Wood will illuminate Leicester’s Victorian past at The Guildhall on September 19, 2026. His engaging presentation will transport attendees through dark tales of local true crime. Expect vivid narratives such as a man felled in an argument with Italian organ grinders and a fatal dispute between quarrymen that left one injured. Wood's compelling storytelling offers a unique glimpse into the city’s lesser-known history, making this event not to be missed for those interested in the darker aspects of Leicester's past.
