City of Leicester & Leicestershire - The Good and Historical Stuff

Went with the stairs John Ghent Leicester Estate Agent is at New Walk Museum. Inside New Walk Museum in 1931 — and right at the centre of it all was this incredible indoor fish pond. Surrounded by exhibits and carefully placed plants, it must have been a calm, almost unexpected feature for visitors exploring the galleries. The pond remained here for decades before disappearing during the major refurbishment in the late 1970s, when the museum layout was completely redesigned and two new floors were added. It’s hard to picture today… a peaceful pool of fish right inside the museum. Do you remember seeing it before it was removed? #Leicester #NewWalkMuseum #Throwback -

Nothing got in the way of the inner ring road except when it came to the station. Where it would have been so much better to go around the back of it down Conduit St, they did clear a lot of that street but it was abandon due to costs and getting across the railway. I assume Swain Street Bridge wasn't considered suitable. -

It looks like Soulsby will get his wish with the land grab of Wigston, Oadby, Glenfield etc based on the results from sSouthampton. Preferred Option (1A): The council supports forming a new authority consisting of Southampton, Eastleigh, and surrounding areas including Chilworth, Fawley, Hythe, Dibden, Marchwood, Nursling, Rown, and Totton and Eling. -

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg461mq10go Strategy for 20,000 new city homes set for approval An expanse of grass dotted with trees Image source,Steve Walters The former Western Park golf course is earmarked for hundreds of homes and warehousing ByDan Martin Leicester political reporter A plan earmarking land for thousands of new homes in Leicester over the next 10 years is set to be approved by councillors. Leicester City Council faces a government-set target of finding sites for 20,730 homes by 2036 to accommodate the city's growing population. The Labour-run authority is set to vote to adopt its new local plan - a strategy for allocating potential housing and new employment sites - at a meeting on Thursday. Campaigners have warned the proposed plan risks destroying remaining vital green spaces in the city. The city's local plan, which has been assessed by a government planning inspector, sets out proposals to concentrate more than 6,000 homes in the city centre, while proposing four strategic housing sites on the edge of Leicester for development. The council said the plan would allocate sites for 3,362 new homes, alongside 7,188 homes that already have planning permission. However, it warns there is not enough space to accommodate the city's full housing target within its current boundaries, and that an "unmet need" of 18,694 homes will have to be built in surrounding districts in Leicestershire, with their agreement. The city council said it would work with developers to promote the sites and would aim for 30% of the new homes to be affordable (file picture) The 131-acre (53-hectare) former Western Park Golf course in the north west of the city has been allocated as a site for 412 homes and industrial buildings. A similar-sized site to the east of the current city council-led Ashton Green development, in Beaumont Leys, could take a further 670 homes, as well as a new 1,200-pupil school. A further 420 homes are proposed on a site north of the A46 Western Bypass, along with new health and education facilities. At least 336 homes are also proposed on another site west of Anstey Lane. The city council said it would work with developers to promote the sites and would aim for 30% of the new homes to be affordable. The authority said dozens of further smaller sites across the city could be developed to help reach the housing target. 'So much wildlife' Glenfield resident Steve Walters, of the Western Golf Course Area Action Group, has campaigned against the development of the area since the city council closed the golf course 12 years ago. "It would be devastating to lose this amazing area," he said. "We've always argued such large-scale development would cause flooding and we'd lose one of the last large green areas in this part of the city. "It has so much wildlife - badger, muntjac deers, and more. "The city council will tell you all the brownfield sites are exhausted, but we think they could do more before targeting prime green land." 'It would be desecration' The proposed local plan also includes plans for a 49.4-acre (20-hectare) industrial development, as well as a transit site with gypsy and traveller pitches, at Beaumont Park in Beaumont Leys. Conservative city councillor for Beaumont Leys, Hazel Orton, said 3,300 people had signed a petition against the development. "When this place is gone, it's gone," she said. "It would be desecration. "We think they could condense the industrial buildings into a much smaller area and keep most of the green space." Deputy city mayor Elly Cutkelvin said: "I totally understand why people might resist building on green spaces, but this is a high-level strategic document to show the government we have a serious plan to meet its target. "It's not approving any development on any site, and residents will be able to engage with the plans as individual applications go in. "I would say that 71% of the housing allocation in the plan is earmarked for brownfield sites." Cutkelvin said the council would start a further review of the local plan shortly after it was formally adopted. -

Pop Music Before The Beatles · Richard Rizk · Mike Sarne & Wendy Richard in the cover front of the single "Come outside" (1962 ) It showed the duo during the early 1960s,You can see the typical style of the period: elegant suits, short hairstyles, and a playful, youthful image Wendy Richard often appears expressive and lively—just like her spoken part in the song. Wendy Richard was not originally meant to be on the record—she was a secretary in the studio and her spontaneous comments were added to the song! She later became famous as an actress in British TV (EastEnders). The song is considered a typical early-60s British novelty hit, similar in spirit to light, conversational pop records of that era. .Mike Sarne sings the main lines .Wendy Richard responds in a spoken, slightly teasing voice It became a No. 1 hit in the UK Singles Chart, staying at the top for two weeks in June–July 1962 and ranking among the biggest sellers of that year.

That kept me going for a couple of years more than I wanted as I was just not enjoying going and being part of KPFC rather than LCFC but I finally bit the bullet last year after 60+ years of almost continuous attendance. I don't have a single regret especially seeing how LCFC have manage to mess this season up with the avoidable 6 point deduction as they continue to punish the fans with their incompetence.
