RE: Aylestone Meadows: September 9 2018
The railway is interesting - the station was in a different place (Great Central Street - would you believe it)! Archeologists recently exposed the remains of the Roman city underneath the site of the old station - it was a huge area of streets and buildings. Very muddy!
I like the pylons 😍
Somewhere there are also cast iron gas containers, but I didn't see them yesterday.
and when you think of great Roman Cities, Leicester isn't a name that immediately trips off the tongue!
Gas clocks I love, totally different class to pylons!
Leicester was on the Fosse Way linking Lincoln and Exeter, by way of Leicester, Bath and Cirencester (not a word about Birmingham - that city is a real johnny-come-lately, didn't get itself together until the middle ages). I think much of the Fosse Way is the A46 now - notably straight.
Of course, I forgot about the Fosse Way...thank you. Today has been an education :-)
