  3. Abbey Road Tribute · Follow The Song George Martin Rejected—and What It Revealed About the Beatles During the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band sessions, George Harrison brought in “Only a Northern Song.” Harrison’s publishing position within Northern Songs was markedly smaller than that of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The track is unstable by design—detuned brass, drifting pitch, no fixed tonal center. Instruments enter without alignment. In the context of Sgt. Pepper, where sequencing and cohesion were being closely managed, the track did not meet the same standard of construction as the surrounding material. In its place, Harrison completed “Within You Without You,” recorded separately with Indian musicians and structured with precision. That track remained. “Only a Northern Song” reappeared on Yellow Submarine, where its looseness was less exposed by context. “The song was a sly dig at the business arrangements of the Beatles,” Martin said. “Their songs had always been published by Northern Songs Ltd, 30% of whose shares belonged to John and Paul with Ringo and George owning only 1.6% each. This meant that John and Paul, in addition to being the group’s main songwriters, were benefiting again as prime shareholders in the publishing company. As far as Northern Songs was concerned, George was merely a contracted writer.” “I realized Dick James had conned me out of the copyrights for my own songs by offering to become my publisher,” remembered Harrison of the track later. “As an 18 or 19-year-old kid, I thought, ‘Great, somebody’s gonna publish my songs!’ But he never said, ‘And incidentally, when you sign this document here, you’re assigning me the ownership of the songs,’ which is what it is. It was just a blatant theft.” With a lesson in music business learned, Harrison decided to aim a barbed track squarely at those who had done him wrong, a trick he would pull off many times in the future: “By the time I realized what had happened, when they were going public and making all this money out of this catalogue, I wrote ‘Only A Northern Song’ as what we call a ‘piss-take,’ just to have a joke about it.” Martin would later say that it was the “track he hated most [from Harrison].” Was Martin right to exclude “Only a Northern Song” from Sgt. Pepper — or does its absence leave out an essential piece of Harrison’s story?
  4. All About Great Britain · The Fosse Way was established in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD as a vital 230-mile artery linking Exeter to Lincoln, following the Roman invasion of Britain in AD 43. Originally named from the Latin fossa, meaning "ditch," the route likely functioned as a defensive earthwork and the western frontier of Roman control before its conversion into a major road. A 1903 cross-section at Radstock in Somerset revealed the meticulous layered construction of the surface, preserving the structural integrity of the ancient engineering. Evidence of heavy historical traffic remains visible in the upper layers, where distinct ruts from centuries of cart wheels are etched into the stone. Today, the road remains one of the most famous examples of Roman surveying, renowned for its remarkably straight path across the English landscape.
  5. Shame they haven't, wont put the same effort into the stadium so that it doesn't look like the Headquarters of KPFC instead of LCFC. Whatever happened to the museum especially after all those donations / loans from fans many of which were lost (before the Srivaddhanaprabhas)

  7. Aylestone Swimming Baths, 1984 A proper local pool on Knighton Lane—simple, bright, and somewhere plenty learned to swim. Later replaced by Aylestone Leisure Centre, but for many this is where the memories were made. Who used to come here? #Leicester #Throwback #SwimmingBaths #StoryOfLeicester Used to go there regularly with the school, Lancaster Boys marching from Victoria park Never could swim properly apart from a very poor breast stroke. Do schools still sponsor swimming classes / lessons?
