Leicestershire memories
Newtons
My grandparents Frank and Hilda Newton lived at 20 Wards End, Loughborough. The house was several hundred years old and used to be a public house but I cannot remember the name. I have a written history of the house, it was pulled down to make way for Storer House. My grandfather and his father had a sign above the front door as they were chimney sweeps. Both my grandfather and great-grandfather were vergers at Emmanuel Church.
Market Place, Boots The Chemist
Well this is of the corner of the Market Place and the High Street to the right or the A6. They moved Boots further down to the left, now a few buildings down.
Queen's Park
This shows the old swimming baths on Granby Street, it looks like the picture is taken from the Carillion in Queen's Park.
The Old Swimming Baths

Clemersons
Clemersons was a great toy and model shop. I used to go in the 60s upstairs to their model section.
Snow on The University Site
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...
My Parents And I Lived in Ashby Close, Burton on The Wolds 1940 To1942
My father, Emilio de Althaus, and my mother Blanca spent weekends in Ashby Close, property of the Lembke family. My father was a Peruvian diplomat in London and came over to Ashby Close on the weekends. I have no personal memories since I was born in 1940. Ms. Ardynn Lembke lived permanently in that country house. My parents, who died in 1988, had very good memories of those times, despite the war and the relentless German air raids, and admired very much the RAF for its victorious air warfare to save Britain. Does anyone have pictures of Ashby Close? Does it still exist? Does anyone have memories of the Lembke family? I will be thankful for any information.
