Recently featured on BBC TV was the unveiling in Leicester of ten more heritage panels explaining the history of  Leicester. The ten panels detail locations and themes from the past, including John O'Gaunt's Cellar at Leicester Castle. The BBC website tells us that the panels are part of the Story of Leicester project.
