Assassin’s Creed Syndicate transports us to the action-packed streets of London in 1868. Players set out on a quest to liberate the city from the grip of the criminal underworld. But they don’t do it alone. Supplying them with a healthy amount of ingenious gadgets to defeat their enemies, is none other than Alexander Graham Bell - best known as the inventor of the telephone.

Dr Holly Nielsen speaks to Brian Wood, curator at the Bell Homestead National Historic Site.
