Come and hear Dr Elsa Richardson discuss her research into Eustace Hamilton Miles, an Edwardian health guru. Using Wellcome books and pamphlets, she will uncover the life of this forgotten pioneer of dietary reform and physical culture. Following her paper there will be an opportunity for you to discuss her ideas.
We’ll be in the Viewing Room. It’s next to the Library entrance on level 2, which you can reach by taking the lift or the stairs.
Spaces are limited and may run out if we are busy so you may wish to arrive early.
