Some interesting articles, Bombs, National Front, Inflation, Transport ideas for Leicester that never come to fruition The Army Recruitment Office in Charles Street was bombed during 'the troubles' with the IRA claiming responsibility. I also remember at work, being supervisor during a bomb alert having to walk around the offices and shopfloor to look for any unusual or dodgy looking packages. There were so many bomb alerts that the Fire Brigade and Police weren't always available. Scary stuff.

Goals from Nick Haughton and Jose Marquez cancelled out two first-half goals from the Foxes, scored by Jake Evans and Toby Onanaye “What an entertaining game, it was end-to-end, Leicester popped it around really well first half. Yahya Bamba was outstanding on the wing," Savage said. “What a night for the youngsters, Stevie Walsh in the first half, Akai Bonnick, Jose Marquez, Thomas Conteh and Will Merret, so it was a good experience for them, a good experience also for those who needed minutes. “The second half was end-to-end for the last 25 minutes because our first team players, who needed the minutes, were tired. It was a good exercise, and this competition has been brilliant for us. “Seven points from nine in the competition, youngsters making an impact, senior players getting minutes, so it’s a great night for us.” Evans opened the scoring for the visitors after just nine minutes as he swept the ball into the bottom corner from his effort towards the back post. Less than two minutes later, Nick Haughton found the back of the net for the third time this season, his first in the National League cup as he tucked away Yahya Bamba’s low driven cross aimed towards the penalty spot. The Foxes retook the lead inside the opening 20 minutes as James Balagizi’s mistake allowed Leicester to counter, and Ryan Donnelly’s threaded pass to Onanaye was slotted into the bottom right corner by the midfielder. Rovers equalised for the second time in the match with just over 15 minutes of the game remaining as Marquez scored a fantastic header, very similar to the header he scored against West Brom in the same competition earlier this season. “It was a great leap, great header, great driven ball from Nick. “These competitions gives players an opportunity to put themselves in my thoughts for the weekend. The visitors won the penalty shootout 5-3 for the extra point, after Haughton missed his penalty as he attempted a Panenka that floated over the bar. “Nick scored, hit the post with an incredible free-kick, got an assist, but then he’s decided to do a Panenka, if you do that, you have to score. “I’m not one for Panenkas, he’s decided to do it and put it over the bar, if you do that in this or any competition, you have to score those.” Academy player Stephen Walsh made his debut for Rovers, playing in midfield. On his performance, Savage said: “He got around the pitch well; it was always the plan to give him 45 minutes. “It was a great experience for him to play in the middle of the park alongside Nick Haughton and James Balagizi. “If the manager watches you, you can always earn an opportunity.” Forest Green Rovers: Pagel; Pemberton, Inniss (Merrett 1), Moore-Taylor, Long; Balagizi, S Walsh (Bonnick 46), Haughton; Buyabu (Bamba 1), Marquez, Dausch (Conteh 46).

History Old Photos · Follow Atomic Leisure — Las Vegas, Nevada, 1955 On July 17, 1955, at precisely 5:30 a.m., swimmers at the Desert Inn pool in Las Vegas paused mid-dive. A mushroom cloud rose in the distance—65 miles away at the Nevada Test Site. The atomic blast, part of Operation Teapot, was visible from the Strip, and locals had gathered with lawn chairs and sunglasses to witness the spectacle. Children floated on inflatable rings, couples sipped coffee, and lifeguards pointed skyward. The juxtaposition was surreal: leisure and annihilation sharing the same horizon. For many, it was a symbol of American optimism, blind to the dangers of radiation. For others, it was a haunting reminder of the Cold War’s reach. That morning, Las Vegas became the only city in the world where you could sunbathe beneath a nuclear sunrise.

To the right we have the back entrance to Lewis's and to the left the back of Marks & Spencer, which looks like it's in the middle of construction.
