Stroll Through 2000 Years of History

From boards trodden by Shakespeare to shopping centres on the site of Roman market places, stages graced by The Beatles and Buzz Aldrin’s underpants, history and heritage are at the heart of Leicester.

The remarkable story of Leicester, the people and the places that shaped its history, can be discovered on the city’s streets via Heritage Panels. Over 175 of the colourful information panels have been installed to give residents and visitors the chance to find out more about Leicester’s extensive history.

This guide will help you navigate your way through the city, discovering these panels as you go, and many are across the road from the actual building they relate to so you can get a good view of them whilst you read their story
