We briefed and fed 60 zigzaggers before sending them in the wilds of Nottingham, zig zagging across town to great pubs and an abandoned building, answering questions on our first ever quiz crawl!

We then presented trophies to the winners and had a raffle with the best prizes!

Thanks to everyone who attended and to the great pubs who hosted us.




The Dragon

I think we will do this again!

Support your pubs!

It is exactly two years since C20 Society established the Elain Harwood Memorial Fund to secure her legacy, and hosted an incredibly moving event in her honour at the Southbank Centre. We’re pleased to announce the Fund has now reached £81,000 in donations – over half way to our initial target of £150,000.

Elain Harwood (1958-2023) was an unrivalled force in the preservation and appreciation of 20th century architecture in Britain. Her life’s work as a historian and writer achieved more than any other individual in advancing the study of our shared heritage. She had a gift for explaining buildings with a uniquely engaging and accessible style. She was a passionate presenter and unfailingly generous with her knowledge, supporting and inspiring both professional scholars and amateur enthusiasts alike. We continue to miss her spirited contributions to all aspects of the Society.

The Fund has already enabled C20 to expand our casework capacity, so for the first time ever we now have two full-time caseworkers. But we want to do more. With your further support for the Fund we’ll be able to continue investing in our vital casework and nurturing the next generation of talent in heritage and conservation.

Another fabulous zigzag bike tour of the peak district, we celebrated 200 years of railway with the history of the high Peak railway, rode some fabulous gravel and toured Derby's historic buildings.
Thanks to all that came and especially those that camped with us at the beautiful barracks farm.
