A lunchtime talk connected to the Country Lives: Exploring the English Countryside from 1800 exhibition.

The countryside was often thought of as a healthy place during the 19th and 20th centuries. However, this could mask the realities for those living and working there. In this talk, Dr Sarah Holland, Associate Professor of History at the University of Nottingham, will explore ideas and lived experiences relating to health and the countryside.
