As an interim step towards a full history, we aim to research and write two paperbacks which will cover the history of Loughborough from 1750 to the present day. The first of these will focus on the social, cultural and religious history of Loughborough and its communities, and we will be starting this research in November 2021. Topics within this section include the histories of Loughborough’s libraries, theatres, cinemas, sports clubs, societies, schools, cultural celebrations (e.g. Eid, Diwali, the Mela) and all of Loughborough’s places of worship.
