Recommended Posts

Posted

ok,

i'm bored and surrounded by these stupid 1001 random things to do/see/smell before you die....

..and i think they should make one for leicester - and i'm sure the mods and servers will love this, but let's see if we can get 1001 (or at least 101)...

...they can be as serious (the jewry wall) or as stupid (tabou's butt checks) as you like and add as many as you want, i just don't care... but it'll keep us busy...

so, i'll start....

1. the jewry wall

2. tabou's arse

3. swan and rushes

4. the toilets upstairs in the haymarket

5. buck's chippy on buckminster road

6. the stall that sells foam, leicester indoor market

7. the co-op on groby road

8. southgates underpass

9. shady lane

10. poundstretcher....

17. walk through glenfield tunnel heard this was possible, but is it legal/a good idea (thought it was bricked up)

yes it's bricked up now, but i walked through it many times as a kid , the trains were still running but were very rare after the early 60s ( can't exactly remember when they stopped )

there were little recesses in the brickwork that you could squeeze into if a train came along but thankfully i never had to use one ,

i do remember a young girl was killed in the tunnel though around 1961/2 ish
