Off the Shelf Festival: The Bookshop, The Draper, The Candlestick Maker - Annie Gray

Thu 17 October 2024 , 7pm-8pm

Millennium Gallery

Historian Annie Gray walks us through the ages from the dawn of the medieval high street to today. Bustling with vivid historical detail Annie's new book explores everything from apothecaries to penny bazaars, bringing to life the sights, smells and sounds of the past.

 

This is the story of how we shopped and lived in days gone by in one of Britain's most loved but ever-changing public spaces - and a reflection on what the future may bring. 

 

This event is part of Off the Shelf: Festival of Words from the University of Sheffield. The full festival programme is available on the website: https://offtheshelf.org.uk/events/
