As a part of her research within the emerging field of ‘creative history’, Lindsay Wilkinson, an MRes English student at LJMU, takes viewers on a virtual walking tour of nineteenth-century London. As part of the Being Human Festival, ‘Walking with a Convict’ features the story of Mary Smith - her crime (pickpocketing), trial and transportation to the penal colony of Botany Bay. We caught up with Lindsay to find out more about her research project.
