Woodgate, Frog Island
During the war my grandparents moved from Great Yarmouth to Leicester, my grandmother worked at Freres biscuit factory in Woodgate, my father went to Slater Street School and they lived in Henry Street. It was a cul-de-sac leading on to Central Street Railway Station. Can anybody tell me just out of interest if any of these places are still there today? I also remember my grandfather telling there was a pub called the Ship. It led into Warrington Street.

Hi, I live just off Fosse Road and can tell you that Slater Street School is still there, as is the Ship pub. I think the biscuit factory must surely be gone - all, or nearly all, the factories are derelict now.
