Sillitoe Trail in Nottingham

presented by Duncan Rowland

 

At the workshop, I'd be happy to briefly present a current work-in-progress, "The Sillitoe Trail" - a cycling-based audio tour of the locations featured in the film Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and also features areas of general connection to Sillitoe himself (including the old Raleigh cycle factory, the site of which is now the Jubilee Campus of Nottingham University). Alan Sillitoe was born 1928 in Nottingham where his father worked at theRaleigh Cycle factory. One of the "Angry Young Men" of the ‘50s, his first novel (published in 1958 and entitledSaturday Night and Sunday Morning). Sound bytes from the film and archive interviews with Sillitoe are played to the visitor through a headset as they cycle a specified route around Sillitoe’s old haunts. This media is triggered automatically via GPS and a map showing both the current road layout, and as it was in the 50’s allows visitors to stay on-track whilst turning their mind back to a bygone era.
