Short paper from a community perspective, linking it to contemporary concepts and critiques of heritage and suggesting that we need to move towards a ‘thicker’ history – one that that is multifaceted, multi-voiced, co-produced and never finished. Presentation as part of the 'Role of Cities Today: In our Cities. In our Communities. In our Institutions. Making Public History Lecture' for the Professional Historians Association.
