Has or will the growth of online shopping K*ll our high streets?
This year’s public lecture will feature two guest speakers; Leo Fenwick (featured image), a member of the department store’s founding family who is director of strategic partnerships, and renowned local architect Tim Bailey of xsite Architecture.
Our speakers will examine the changing face of the sector and the impact of those changes on the buildings and landscapes in our cities and towns.
The lecture will be hosted by N&N Trustee Emma Newlands, and N&N member and retail expert, Eric Morgan.
So, whether you work or have worked in retail, whether you are concerned about the future of our towns or cities or if you just love shopping and want to know what may lie ahead for your favourite shops or stores, do be sure to book.
The event will also include the planned launch of the N&N Society’s centenary book, ‘Our City, Our County; an anthology. Celebrating the first 100 years of The Northumberland and Newcastle Society’.
