jobee Posted 12 December 2010 Posted 12 December 2010 Singers not bad, football not good. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Humperdink. Jersey Budd. Etc. Leicester. The famous clock tower is still on the spot but everything else has changed a lot the markets 'White Swan' has disappeared a shop and plethora of stalls appeared. The Swan with two Necks of Granby st. fame the demolition hammer stopped its game, The 'Bell Hotel' went the same way It quenched my thirst on many a day. the notorious 'Eclipse' of Eastgates fame where scarlet ladies played a game The times I popped in just to see faces I knew abashed with glee. the ‘Dixie Arms’ St Peters lane where once I watched a cockerel slain in the yard, right in view the crowd amused by something new. the Pelican Hotel, Gallowtree Gate always quiet and rather sedate the town has changed in recent years no doubt causing one or two jeers on the bright side let us look the view the City Council took in '91 The Haymarket appeared traffic danger disappeared. Humberstone Gate is traffic free toO till Charles St starts the buzz anew Gallowtree Gate you can freely walk meet with friends chat, talk all in all we'd have to say Rome was not built in a day but the city centre is safer now so Leicester Council can take a bow Jobee http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056004533&page=14
