Leicestershire is well known for pork pies, Stilton and King Richard 3rd. - but the history of the County's industrialists and their inventions is equally interesting and diverse.

Our next speaker is a mine of information on the topic and you will be surprised at the famous names associated with the area.

Come along to the Congregational Church, Kilwardby Street, Ashby-de-la-Zouch LE65 2FQ [Look out for the advertising board on the pavement outside]. It will start at 2.00 pm and tea, coffee and biscuits will be available – along with a warm welcome.

If you are not a member of Ashby u3a why not come along as our guest for a 'taster' visit?
