Feedback from an Open Heritage Day talk on George Corson: I thought the presentation was one of the best I have heard. The speaker was clear, entertaining and very informative and delivered his slides in a very interactive way. I would definitely attend any other event he presented. Thanks to Heritage Open Days and Leeds Civic Trust for organising this.'
