Episode Overview
With his Victorian Bradshaw's in hand, Michael Portillo embarks on the next segment of his northern adventure along Robert Stephenson's London to Birmingham route. Starting in Leicester, he delves into the story of the notorious hunchbacked King Richard III, whose final resting place, as noted in Bradshaw's, is at Grey Priory. Michael learns about the quest to locate the king's remains and how researchers confirmed the identity of a skeleton discovered beneath a parking lot. Continuing on from Rothley, he takes a journey on the Great Central Railway to Loughborough, where the bells have been chiming since 1839.
