The wooden boats in the picture belong to the riverside restaurant, out of shot to the right. As a teenager, in 1974, it was my job on a Sunday afternoon to hire these out. We did have a few people fall out of the boats, but no one complained. A warm brew and some towels was all it... [more]

I remember when the snow was really heavy, I was about 6 years old and I lived with my grandparent and mother on New Ashby Road, just over the road from the Loughborough University. My uncles and Aunts took me over to the university with a sledge, we had a wonderful time sledging and making a giant sized snow man...... [more]

My elder brother, Alan Crook, and I were evacuated from Sheffield during the blitz of, I think, 1941. We stayed, as far as I can recall, in a large house, I believe the Manse, attached to the Church. (St. James ?). I was about 6 at the time so my memories are a little hazy ! We... [more]

The house in the middle is where I lived from 1972. The address is 62 Main Street and the house was called Barn Croft. The house on the right was a farm and the house that the middle house was built on was part of the farmyard. When the farm closed, one of the daughters had this built... [more]

Leicestershire Villages Photographic Memories
This small village, about three miles to the east of Loughborough, has in recent decades expanded to accommodate country- dwelling commuters. One building of interest is the Hall, mainly of the late 18th century, which was formerly the hunting lodge for the Dukes of Somerset. A small mission church in the village is dependent on St Andrews, Prestwold. The photograph clearly illustrates the village expansion with housing that could literally be anywhere.

Leicestershire Villages Photographic Memories
Next to an 18th century house of some interest, the post office, along with the pub, was the focal point of village life. The need to collect the pension and perhaps a few postage stamps could be spiced up with a little discreet local gossip. Now, thanks to cut-backs, post offices disappear like ghosts into the night. To the east of the village are the earthworks of a moated grange to Garendon Abbey, a Cistercian... [more]
