Leap Through Time: City

Find out about the story of a city. Using the thumb index, you can whizz through time - days, years or centuries - from one page to the next.

It's an exciting trip! From it's humble beginnings as a small farming village, watch it grow into a Roman fortress town, a Viking trading centre and a medieval cathedral city.

Watch it burn down, be rebuilt, suffer bomb damage in World War Two, then become a modern metropolis.
