Certainly made up for buying him

It helps that Curtis Jones is a local lad.

I’d have thought London Road would have been one of the busiest but Sundays were pretty much dead apart from church and Sunday school and most people would’ve walked as they would’ve been local. I remember having relatives visit on a Sunday and the only place open to eat was a Banners Restaurant on the corner of St Albans Road opposite Victoria Park Gates.

Yeah spud gun you can still buy them this is £8

We used to play on the street whilst looking at car registration plates as back then you could tell where they were registered as each area of England had it's own register., one place was on London Road and on Sundays you could be waiting a while for a car to pass.

Page is regarded as one of England’s best talents for his age group having impressed from midfield in the Premier League 2. The left-footed teenager has registered three goal involvements this season and his form has just earned another call-up to England’s under-17s. Page will take on the Netherlands across two games later this month in Portugal.

Mervin Wallace contributed to the album LADY JANE GREY - THE NINE DAYS QUEEN in History of Leicestershire in Images. ON THE 12th FEBRUARY 1554 At the tender age of 17, the ‘Nine Days Queen’, Lady Jane Grey (1537-1554) and her husband Lord Guildford Dudley were beheaded at the Tower of London; he on Tower Hill, she on Tower Green, after being implicated in the Wyatt's rebellion. The rebellion arose out of concern over Queen Mary I's determination to marry Philip II of Spain, which was an unpopular policy with the English. It is believed that Lady Jane was born at Bradgate House* in Leicestershire and spent the greater part of her short life there. Lady Jane Grey was born in 1537, the oldest daughter of Henry Grey and Lady Frances Brandon and the great-granddaughter of Henry VII. Her parents saw to it that she received an excellent education, intended to make her a good match for the son of a well-positioned family. At the age of 10, Jane went to live with the conspiratorial Thomas Seymour, Edward VI’s uncle, who had only recently married Catherine Parr, the widow of Henry VIII. Jane was raised as a devout Protestant and proved to be an intelligent and engaged young woman, remaining close to Thomas Seymour and Catherine Parr until Parr’s death in childbirth in 1548. Seymour was executed for treason in 1549. Lady Jane Grey's life began with promise and high expectations but ended tragically, due in part to the ambitions of her father and the religious strife of the times. The great-granddaughter of Henry VII, Grey was named the successor to Edward VI during a tumultuous competition for the throne. She was deposed as Queen of England by Mary Tudor on the 19th July 1553. *The ruins of the Bradgate House we see today in my photographs are not thought to be the original house Lady Jane Grey was born or lived in. I have included this lovely piece of artwork by the Hinckley artist Cicely Pickering.

when I was 19ish I used to live with my brother in a flat on the left just pass the next junction which is Cross Road where we had a flat previously. MrsG used to live in one on the left just before where the picture was taken from History of Leicestershire in Images Graham Hulme An old postcard view of Clarendon Park Road, looking west towards the junction with Queen’s Road. The card was posted in Leicester to “Gimson Rd The Fosse” in March 1907. The street going off to the right of the picture is Central Avenue. The buildings shown here still exist. The prominent tower seen in the distance is that of the Clarendon Park Road Wesleyan Methodist Church which was built in 1900. It became the Christchurch Baptist-Methodist Ecumenical Church in the early 1990s. The Wesleyan Church had first opened in October 1900 and had been designed by the prominent Leicester architect Alderman Albert Edwin Sawday (1851-1923) who was himself a Methodist. He served as Mayor of Leicester in 1903-04. The church is designed in a free Perpendicular Gothic style and is of red brick with stone dressings. The tower is octagonal and has a top stage of stone. Above the main entrance, the frontage has a large 5-light window with gothic panel tracery. The church originally accommodated about 950 people and the cost of the site together with the building was about £8,400. In addition to the church, classrooms, a large church parlour and a lecture hall to seat 400 were provided (The Methodist Times, 18th October 1900). The first Minister of the new church was the Rev. John Ernest Rattenbury who, in 1902, became Minister of the Albert Hall Wesleyan Mission at Nottingham (the hall burnt down in 1906 and Nottingham’s present Albert Hall was built in 1909-10). In 1907 the Rev. Rattenbury moved to be Superintendent Minister of the West London Methodist Mission which post he held for 18 years and during this time the Mission’s new base, Kingsway Hall, was built in 1912 (a later Minister of Kingsway Hall was the famous Donald Soper). The Rev. Rattenbury moved in 1925 to take up a post as a minister at Southport. He died in 1963 aged 92, having been hailed as “the Grand Old Man of Methodism”.

https://www.leicestercity.news/news/he-was-nigel-pearsons-marquee-signing-at-leicester-city-but-now-hes-playing-in-the-10th-tier/ Former Leicester star Ben Marshall playing in the 10th tier of English football When Leicester signed Ben Marshall from Stoke City in 2012, it was regarded as a real coup for the then Championship outfit. Marshall, who was 20 at the time, had recently impressed on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, so there was hope he could help fire City back to the top flight. However, for all of his talent, the wide man failed to make an impression at the King Power and left just 18 months after arriving having scored nine goals in 61 outings. By the age of 28, he found himself at non-league club Stoneclough FC and now he’s in the 10th tier with AFC Darwen, who play in the North West Counties League Division One North. How Nigel Pearson described Ben Marshall When Marshall left Leicester for Blackburn Rovers, Pearson told manager Gary Bowyer that they were signing a great talent but he just didn’t like Monday’s. Marshall admits he wasn’t a very professional footballer and would often come into training having drunk the night before. He would even go into the steam room at the training ground to try and flush out the alcohol from his system, so it’s easy to see why he didn’t fulfil his lofty potential. Anyhow, the former England youth international still amassed just shy of 250 appearances in the Championship, which is certainly a commendable feat.
