Mapping Chester’s Landscapes: Past, Present, Future

with Professor Keith Lilley

In this lecture, Former Trust Chair and Trustee Professor Keith Lilley, presents his work on medieval Chester and explains how maps can not only help us to understand more about the city's medieval past but also reveal the continued presence of these legacies in today's urban landscape.


He uses state-of-the-art digital mapping techniques to illustrate the potential for creating a new historical map of Chester and how this map could form an important contribution to the Historic Towns Trust's programme of mapping Britain's historic cities.
