Talk by Chris Green

Discussions about a fixed link between England and France have been in evidence for rather longer than you might think. What advantages and – possibly more importantly – disadvantages might that bring?

Whose idea was it to drill a tunnel all the way under the Channel? What kind of tunnel – road, rail or a combination of both? How did they do it? Which country would ‘own’ the tunnel? How much would it cost? – and who would pay for it?

Chris’s talk will answer some, although perhaps not all, of these questions.

We’re delighted to offer our afternoon talks on a Pay What You Can basis. We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this, please call the team or visit us in person.
