All down to when and how they decide the ball was kicked. When it’s that close I don’t think the tech is good enough to decide. Should be advantage goal scorer.

Spent many an hour in here in my youth.

Justin Vanparys · Follow · Arthur Hugo Cecil Gibson submitted a patent application for a “self-propelled vehicle” on July 26th, 1913, which would later be renamed the Autoped. The Autoped was powered by an air-cooled, 4-stroke, 155 cc engine positioned over the front wheel. It came equipped with a headlamp, tail lamp, Klaxon horn, and a toolbox. The New York Postal Service experimented with scooters for mail delivery in 1916. They were produced from 1915 to 1922.

Used to go there to use the Slipper Baths when I first started work as an Engineering Apprentice and was living as a lodger in a house on Victoria Road East where you had to wash in the kitchen sink. Some old days weren't so good.

You're thinking of a different sort of erection.

Yeah but at least it wont belong to KPFC besides I don't ever seeing KP/the club coming up with the money any time soon as they've shown no interest in the annals of LCFC in which Vardy will soon exist even to the point of removing anything that did.

Well of course but for us not only does it look like that it feels like that and may as well be. King Power Est 1884 according to the banner in the stadium.

If the fans can raise £4000k plus for a Vardy tifo we should be able to raise enough for a statue. If we have the money I can't see KP or the LC Council refusing it.

For strangers to the city it looks like King Power Football Club.

Let's hope it's We're the winning side.

This is Humberstone Gate in November 1962 and the start of demolition work to make way for what was to become the Haymarket shopping centre. The pub which has just been flattened is the Stag and Pheasant. As the demolition boards surrounding the site tell us, it was set to be replaced by a Littlewoods store as part of the huge redevelopment which took place in this area. The other shops on the right were all on borrowed time, too. These included one of the stores of W A Lea and Sons, chemists shop FH Clark, the Irish Manufacturing Co and another pub, the Admiral Nelson with its Art Deco facade. Just rubble remains in November 1962 where the Stag and Pheasant pub once stood on Leicester's Humberstone Gate

John Greaves *Another one from Aylestone Park u14s enters Academy Football* We would like to congratulate Kane Huckerby on signing a 2 year deal with Leicester City. We picked up Kane from a division 8 team just a year and half ago and in this short time he’s impressed us and Leicester City with his development and he’s dedication, he’ll be a huge miss for our team, but we wish him all the best on his journey. AP We at Aylestone Park have not only produced 15 players that have joined Professional Clubs we have created a pathway into senior football with over 8 U18s players playing at first team level over the last 2 seasons. Aylestone Park are simply the best at producing talented footballers.

Remember Loughborough · Join Suggested for you · Graham Hulme · · An old postcard view of the Brush engineering works. The card was posted from Loughborough to a village north of Lincoln on 23rd October 1913. The message on the card, to a Miss Edie True, was dated and addressed from the Lonsdale Hotel by the writer “Will” - possibly a visitor to the town who was staying there. The Lonsdale stands at the corner of Burder Street and Glebe Street but has been closed for many years. The licensee in 1913 was Gertrude Hyde, a widow whose husband, Harry Hyde, had taken over at the Lonsdale in February 1910 but died in March 1911. The couple had previously run the Leopard Inn at Derby before coming to Loughborough. No doubt the Lonsdale, which had opened in 1899, was quite prosperous at the time and benefitted from its nearness to the Brush Works and its employees, as well as other industries in the locality and the Midland Railway Station. The engineering works, shown in the picture, first began to be developed there in 1865 when Henry Hughes & Company was established on a seven acre site next to the Midland Railway, manufacturing locomotives, rail coaches and wagons (Hughes had previously run a Falcon Works since the 1850s at a canal wharf near The Rushes - see article by Tony Jarram https://www.lboro-history-heritage.org.uk/origins-of-the.../ ). The company was also noted for producing tramcars and patented lightweight steam engines for operation on tramways. The company came to be called the Falcon Engine and Car Works, continuing the Falcon name from the wharf works. Henry Hughes was born in London in 1833 and was initially a timber merchant. He is described as such in the 1861 census when he was then living in Loughborough but in 1871, while living in Leicester, he is called a mechanical engineer and, with two partners, employed 120 men and 55 boys. By the time of the 1881 census he is entered as a civil engineer and was living at Falcon Cottage in Loughborough with his wife, Emma and a large family. In 1882 the factory suffered a serious fire and the following year the business ran into financial difficulties. It was then taken over by Norman Scott Russell, a son of the renowned shipbuilder John Scott Russell who had collaborated with Isambard Kingdom Brunel on the building of the SS Great Eastern at Millwall. Henry Hughes and his family subsequently moved to New Zealand it seems and he died there in 1896. The Falcon Works was purchased in 1889 by the Anglo-American Brush Electric Light Corporation which had been established in Lambeth, South London, in 1879. This business soon after changed its name to Brush Electrical Engineering Co Ltd, the name seen over the works in the picture. The Brush Company had initially manufactured dynamos and arc lamps, exploiting the inventions of the American Charles Francis Brush (1849-1929) who gave his name to the company. Charles Brush was born near Cleveland, Ohio and in 1876 had invented an improved electric dynamo for powering arc lights. The following year he patented the dynamo and invented the first practicable arc lighting. In April 1879 Brush’s arc lamps lit the public square in Cleveland. By 1882 his lamps had been installed in several major cities across America and Europe. The American company Brush Electric was also established in 1879 and after some later mergers with other companies became General Electric. The Anglo-American Brush Electric at Lambeth owned the worldwide patent and sales rights of the various products, excluding the US. The company also began to manufacture motors, switchgear and small transformers and experienced a large increase in business by the late 1880s. Thus the move to the site in Loughborough was prompted by the need for room to expand and a location close to the railway. At first only the heavier manufacturing was transferred from Lambeth (the works stood where the Shell building and the London Eye are now on the south bank of the Thames) but, with the building of large extensions at the Falcon Works, most of the production was moved to Loughborough by 1895. In 1891 Emile Garcke (1856-1930) had become Managing Director of the company. He had been born in Saxony and became a naturalised British subject in 1880, joining Anglo-American Brush Electric as Secretary in Lambeth in 1883. (Garcke was much involved in the development of electrical engineering throughout the country and in 1895 set up the British Electric Traction Company, becoming its Managing Director. This company was involved in the electrification of tramways in Britain and abroad and became the largest private owner of tramways in the country). Before the First World War tramcars and electrical engineering were the main manufacture at Brush and by 1910 the works employed about 2,000 people. Steam locomotives were also produced, and motor omnibuses and other motor vehicles. During WW1 production was mainly concerned with munitions but after 1918 turbine production increased, suited to small municipal and company electricity works. By the mid-1920s the works employed about 2,500 people and covered an area of about 33 acres. After the Second World War there was more diversification with the production of heavy electrical equipment, large oil engines, diesel and diesel-electric locomotives, generators and transformers. Other companies became part of the BRUSH Group and in 1957 it amalgamated with the Hawker Siddeley Group following a £22 million offer. By October 1960 the Falcon Works employed about 4,300 and had a total site area of 59 acres. During the 1970s the various divisions of BRUSH were formed into separate manufacturing companies with about 5,000 people on the site. Since the 1990s there have been many re-organisations and acquisitions of the various companies and divisions, and many changes have occurred in recent years, including the sale of its generators and motors division.
