https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/flats-improvement-plan-cank-street-9301204 Flats and 'improvement' plan for Cank Street row of shops including Paper Tiger The iconic fancy dress store announced its closure in January ByHannah RichardsonLocal Democracy Reporter 11:18, 27 MAY 2024 A row of shop buildings in Leicester’s Cank Street could be used for new homes. An application submitted to Leicester City Council reveals a developer wants to turn the upper floors of numbers nine to 15 Cank Street into accommodation. The line of buildings include the former Paper Tiger store which recently became vacant. The iconic fancy dress store announced its closure in January after 50 years in the city. Applicant JGM (Nottingham) LTD said the upper floors of the row had “remained unused for a number of years” and the rear extensions and roofs of the buildings had become “dilapidated and unusable”. It also wants to “restore and improve” the facades of the shop fronts which face Cank Street. JGM originally intended student flats for the buildings, documents show. However, following conversations with the council, the new homes are now proposed to be general residences. They would be a mixture of two studio flats and five “houses in multiple occupation” (HMOs) if the scheme is approved. The HMOs would comprise two seven-beds, one four-bed and two three-beds. HMOs are homes where separate households live together, sharing communal areas like kitchens and living rooms. The existing “dilapidated roof” would be replaced with one which creates “additional residential space” in the upper areas. The extensions at the rear of number 9 would be demolished as well. The developer said its intention was to also “create a simple ground floor commercial unit” in the space in addition to the flats. It is further proposing to “restore and improve” the facades of the shop fronts which face Cank Street. Design would be “contemporary” and “respectful to the neighbouring traditional architecture”, the application states. A consultation on the plan is underway with residents able to have their say until Tuesday, June 18. A target decision date has been set by the city council for Monday, June 24.

Born and Raised in Leicester nesdprootSli907l5920m789fhlal3fta1375at744h42hma1aac42c7m913 · Leicester's High Street *A grand mansion known as 'Lord’s Place' was on High Street and is said to have hosted Mary, Queen of Scots in 1586 *High Street was widened in the early 1900s to accommodate the new electric trams *In medieval times the road was known as Forum Porcorum (‘pig market’) or Swinesmarket *The street that sold pigs and accommodated royalty. High Street follows a route that existed in Roman times, connecting East Gate to the Forum and Basilica (now Jubilee Square). In medieval times it was known as Forum Porcorum (‘pig market’) or Swinesmarket, but by 1524 had been renamed High Street to reflect its increased importance. By 1569 Henry, Earl of Huntingdon, was living here in a grand mansion known as Lord’s Place (now 43-51 High Street). It is said Mary, Queen of Scots, stayed there in 1586 followed by King James I in 1612 and Charles I in 1642. A plaque on No. 45 High Street records the site’s history. A Victorian shopping street In 1885 the Co-operative Society built a large new store on High Street, accommodating the various services the Co-op provided. It traded until 1985 and was demolished four years later when The Shires shopping centre (now Highcross Leicester) was constructed. However, its façade, as well as the frontages of other Victorian and Edwardian buildings, was incorporated into the complex as 53-71 High Street. The arrival of the trams In 1899 the construction of the Great Central Railway further increased the importance of High Street, which linked the commercial heart of Leicester with the new station. The street had to be widened to accommodate Leicester’s new electric tram system and many of its buildings were demolished and replaced. Replacement buildings that have survived include No. 7, a classical style bank (1904), No. 40, Leicester’s first cinema, the Electric Theatre (1910), Nos. 58-60, Butler’s Chemist’s Shop and Nos. 76-88, the Coronation Buildings (1904). Butler's Chemists, 58-60 High Street The building on the west corner of High Street was designed in a classical style but with distinctive art nouveau features by Albert Edwin Sawday and built in 1902 for Thomas Edward Butler, who had previously dispensed from premises in Sanvey Gate. His family's business had been founded in 1840 and was styled as 'wholesale druggists'. Butler also owned a factory in Town Hall Lane where he produced his 'Sea Breeze Saline', a headache remedy which was advertised in the façade of his High Street shop. This, with an image of a full-rigged sailing vessel, together with the likeness of the proprietor in the guise of a medieval alchemist with pestle and mortar and carboys, were made from Royal Doulton tiles, and were a familiar landmark in High Street for many years. At the back of the building, the original wrought iron gate still stands with the words 'Butler’s Goods Entrance'. 1.

I'd suggest we'll play Enzo ball against bus parkers and counter attacking against the better attacking teams. We really will have no choice it'll happen naturally.

That starts in the 9th min of the 2nd half and already 1-1 ????

I might have posted this before Born and Raised in Leicester · Follow · Traffic chaos, 1930s-style. Buses, trams, cars, vans, cyclists and pedestrians, all happily mingling together, in what looks to be a completely higgledy-piggledy way – yet, presumably, it all worked out somehow. This shot was taken looking towards the Welford Road junction with Aylestone Road, on a football match day. The Aylestone Road recreation ground – ‘reccy’ (now Nelson Mandela Park) can be seen towards the upper left of the picture. As today, there’s an impressive avenue of trees lining Welford Road and for the really eagle-eyed, there’s a glimpse of the white-painted entrance to the skating rink of the old Granby Halls, at the centre right, towards the top. So, that just about gives us our bearings. The tram nearest the camera is a football special, as I guess, so are the buses on the right, as, in those days, the vast majority of football supporters, both for Leicester City, at Filbert Street and the Tigers, just along Welford Road, would have walked, cycled or taken the bus/tram to the match. The days of surrounding streets being crammed with supporters’ parked cars were a long way away yet Jim x

Not on this forum there isn't.

This usually comes with more knowledge and confidence in the system and better players which you could apply to any system adopted.

Sorry for the repeat posting but seem to fit a few threads that not everyone reads Chelsea The Blues Army · Follow · Enzo Maresca suits our squad. He has worked with Palmer and Lavia. Plus Shield, our best recruiter worked at City Academy with him and understands his demands. Plays dynamic football geared towards dominating possession, overloading the midfield to sustain possession and stop transitions with inverted FB. His possession is not dull, they buy their time and wait for openings or opportunities for players to make runs from deep. If there is a stat for third-man runs into the final third, they should be high up there in Europe. Leicester have the best defence in the Championship and second-best attack despite their lack of squad depth that nearly cost them at the end. That squad wasn't elite for his football in any way. To get the players playing well within a few months surprised a lot of people, including me. Centre-backs were Faes and Vestergaard. DM was Winks. Ndidi and Dewsbury-Hall as 8s. Vardy was injured or on the bench for almost 70% of the season. Plus two inexperienced wingers. The point is, he can do a lot better with a squad that suits his football if well-backed. I think his football is modern and dynamic with a lot of control and movements. I love my team to be dynamic and unpredictable. He's not supposed to be my top choice or in the top 5 for Chelsea, but I have watched Leicester this season and admired his football, and feel his style suits our players. I don't think they will struggle to grasp it. In the current shortlist, he's my absolute favourite, ahead of McKenna.
