Leicester recent comments:

  • Kimberlin Library, Richard Partridge (guest) wrote 13 years ago:
    The library is NOT shared with the University of Leicester. The Bookshop (previously housed in this building, now in Hugh Aston Building) was run as a joint venture with the University of Leicester. The Kimberlin Library was built in 1977 and includes the adjacent wing extension that was built in 1997 which is presently labelled as the IOCT
  • Institute Of Creative Technologies, Richard Partridge (guest) wrote 13 years ago:
    The building shown is actually the Kimberlin Library extension, built in 1997. The IOCT facility shares part of this foorprint on the ground floor Gateway elevation

    Please use Satellite + old places (found in Map type) to check for places that are already marked.
  • Braunstone Gate Bridge [Bowstring Bridge] (demolished), Leicesterite (guest) wrote 14 years ago:
    The bridge was demolished in November 2009. The area is considerably less interesting now. DMUs plans for a new sports centre are little consolation to the thousands of people who daily pass through the area.
  • Pump And Tap (demolished), Leicesterite (guest) wrote 14 years ago:
    Despite considerable local opposition, the Pump & Tap was demolished in November 2009 to make way for De Montfort Universitys new swimming pool. The site is still empty 10 months later (Sept 2010).
  • Jewry Wall Museum, RK77 wrote 14 years ago:
    Moved from description: "Note that, despite website illustrations to the contrary, climbing is not encouraged on the Roman wall. Also note that neither explanation given on this website, as to the origin of the Jewry wall's name, is given credence in the museum itself. Two (very) large, carved, wooden representations of the Lewis chessmen might amuse the kids. Try not to miss the stairs down to the museum from the pavement, or you may not find your way in."

  • Highcross Leicester, RK77 wrote 15 years ago:
    Details reclaimed from a duplicate: "The indoor Shires Shopping Centre was opened in 1991. Although the insides of shops such as the Co-op and Post Office were gutted, fortunately many of the early twentieth-century façades were kept."

  • Leicester Mercury, rigamax wrote 15 years ago:
    The Leicester Mercury offices, designed by the local firm of architects Pick, Everard, Keay & Gimson, were opened in 1967. The building is really two buildings in one separated by a five-centimetre gap to combat the thunderous noise from the presses. The foundations of the presses are surrounded by a 2.5 cm thick layer of cork to help keep vibration to a minimum.
  • Leicester Railway Station, rigamax wrote 15 years ago:
    The present railway station was built to the design of Charles Trubshaw in 1892. The arms that are carved into the side of the railway bridge opposite the station represent the six main towns served by the Midland Railway. Top row from left to right: Birmingham, Derby, Bristol Bottom row from left to right: Leicester, Lincoln, Leeds The bronze life-size statue, which stands just outside the station, was commissioned by the City Council in 1992 to mark the centenary of the death of Thomas Cook. It was executed by James Butler, who was also responsible for the Leicester Seamstress in Hotel Street and the statue to Richard III in Castle Park.
