​The legacy of the transatlantic slave trade is not just to be found in the plantations of the Caribbean and the Americas.
We are still living with some of these legacies in Britain and this talk will highlight them and look at local legacies too.

​Since 2000 Nigel Sadler has been researching many aspects of enslavement and it's legacies and has been involved in the search for a slave ship that wrecked in 1841.
