Historyfeels · Follow The original Monopoly was invented by a woman in 1904 to highlight the dangers of unchecked capitalism, she was told her concept was too complex, then the idea was stolen. Long before Monopoly became a family game-night staple, it was a pointed critique of economic inequality. The game was originally created in 1904 by Elizabeth Magie, an American writer, inventor, and staunch supporter of economist Henry George’s ideas about land reform. She called it The Landlord’s Game and designed it to demonstrate how wealth accumulation and rent-seeking concentrated power in the hands of a few while impoverishing everyone else. Magie patented the game in 1904, including two rule sets: one where players competed to monopolize property and another where everyone benefited equally from shared wealth — a direct moral lesson about the difference between greed and fairness. She hoped it would teach players that monopolies harm society. Years later, Charles Darrow encountered a version of Magie’s game, modified and circulating informally among friends and communities. He sold it to Parker Brothers in the 1930s, claiming it as his own invention. The company bought Magie’s patent for just $500 and erased her name from history. Monopoly went on to become one of the best-selling board games of all time — ironically celebrating the very capitalist spirit it was meant to criticize. Added Fact: Elizabeth Magie’s original 1904 patent for The Landlord’s Game remains one of the earliest known board game patents filed by a woman in the United States.

John Ghent Leicester Estate Agent · Follow West Bridge Station – Where Leicester’s Rail Story Began Tucked just behind the city centre, West Bridge Station was once the beating heart of Leicester’s industrial age. Opened in 1832 as the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Railway, it was one of the earliest railways in the world — built to haul coal from the Swannington mines into the growing town of Leicester. What makes it even more fascinating is that this was pre-Victorian engineering — rails laid before most people had ever seen a train. The first locomotives rumbled down these tracks when horse-drawn wagons still dominated the streets. By the time this photo was taken, likely in the 1940s or early ’50s, passenger services had long gone. The line survived mainly for freight — coal, building materials, and goods from Leicester’s factories. The small brick building you see was the station office, sitting quietly beside rows of terraced housing that grew up long after the railway itself. The line finally closed in 1966, ending over a century of service — but its ghost still lingers. Parts of the old trackbed can still be traced today through Frog Island and along the River Soar, reminders of Leicester’s early leap into the railway age. ⸻ If you’ve ever explored the West End or Frog Island, you’ve probably walked right over history without realising it. #LeicesterHistory #LostLeicester #WestBridgeStation #LeicesterRailways #SwanningtonLine #OldLeicester #LeicesterHeritage

John Ghent Leicester Estate Agent · Follow Midland Auction Mart, 1876 — Leicester Tucked away on Market Street, this beautiful Victorian façade has watched over the city for nearly 150 years. Look closely and you’ll see the incredible detail — carved faces, scrolls, and flourishes that once represented the pride and craftsmanship of an era when even everyday buildings were designed to impress. It’s a reminder that Leicester’s history isn’t just in museums or monuments — it’s right above our heads. So next time you’re walking through town, slow down… and look up.

I'd assume that Rudkin and Kevin Davies (financial director) would have significant input about the players and the available funds and submit that to the CEO and Board for approval.

Jordan Ayew started and scored for Ghana in a 5-0 win over Central African Republic on Wednesday Abdul Fatawu also played for the Black Stars who sit top of Group I in CAF FIFA World Cup Qualification Patson Daka named in the starting XI for Zambia, who beat Tanzania The Copper Bullets sit fourth in their qualification group Ayew kept up his impressive national goalscoring record by netting in the FIFA World Cup Qualifier, making it three in the last four for the Black Stars, while winger Fatawu was also involved for the first time since November 2024. Starting their ninth group stage game in the centre forward position, it was Monaco defender Mohammed Salisu who broke the deadlock after 20 minutes, with the only breakthrough of the first half. Putting the pressure on after the break, goals were quickly added by Thomas Partey, Alexander Djiku and City's No.9, Ayew. Former Southampton winger Kamaldeen Sulemana rounded off the scoreline three minutes from time. A seventh win keeps Ghana top of the group, three points clear of second-placed Madagascar and with a plus-eight goal difference. The Leicester pair have the chance to play again on Sunday in a final group stage game against Comoros (8pm kick-off). Later on in the evening, Daka led the line for Zambia in their qualification game against Tanzania. Already out of the running for progression to next summer's World Cup, pride was still on the line. It took until the 75th minute for the first goal to come, when Fashion Sakala found the net for the away side, leading to victory at Amaan Stadium. Playing 84 minutes for his country, Daka may have the opportunity to feature once more when the Copper Bullets take on Niger this Sunday (2pm kick-off). All times BST.
