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 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]

Leicester Photographic Memories
Close to the road, the solid but impressive ashlar tower dominates the immediate street scene with its substantial angled buttresses and crocketted finials; these are not 15th-century, but were added in 1832, after the collapse of the original tower, by the local architect William Flint (1801-1862), whose specialism was Greek Revival. The body of the church is fairly run-of-the-mill with its four-bay... [more]

Castle Yard c1965. The Great Hall, built by Robert, Earl of Leicester around 1150, cannot compare with that of Oakham Castle of c1180, some twenty miles east of the city, as an example of Norman architecture; but as part of the extensive remains of Leicester Castle and its town defences, it is quite remarkable. Although the building has been pared down from its original aisled form, and has been provided... [more]

A picturesque view, whose general outlook has altered quite radically since 1955. St Paul's school to the left, dating from 1835 with its Tudoresque details and gable end bell-cote, has changed dramatically to become a residential property. The entrance door remains in situ, but the stone mullion and transom windows have gone in favour of unattractive modern replacements; strangely, the bell-cote now resides in... [more]
