The Lero – Leicester Trams

http://www.leicestertrams.org.uk/the-lero

Tram 31 Group and the History of Tramways in the City of Leicester. The Lero was built in 1904 to house the generating equipment that provided the electricity for the City’s tramway system. It was constructed near to the canal so as to be within reach of coal supplies that were needed to feed the large boilers and water which was required for the steam engines. The Lero - June 2010. The principle dimensions of the engines were:. Cylinder Bores: High pressure 22ins – Low Pressure 44 ins. The massive brick...

Desperate Reader: At Hawthorn Time - Melissa Harrison

http://desperatereader.blogspot.com/2015/07/at-hawthorn-time-melissa-harrison.html

Monday, July 27, 2015. At Hawthorn Time - Melissa Harrison. I read this book almost 2 months ago - shockingly lax blogging on my part to be only just getting round to it now - and my memories of it are no longer as fresh as they should be for which I can only apologise. The book opens as it closes, at the scene of a terrible car crash, we know from the first page that somebody has died, and by the end of the book know that it is either Jack the old fashioned tramp and itinerant farm labourer, Jamie, a yo...

http://www.leicestertrams.org.uk/2015/02/18/track-watch-2015-–-narborough-road-reveals-inbound-track

Tram 31 Group and the History of Tramways in the City of Leicester. Track Watch 2015 Narborough Road Reveals Inbound Track. February 18, 2015. February has proved the old saying –. 8220;You wait ages and then two come along”. Narborough Road heading in to town has been closed to traffic this week between the old Braunstone Hotel site (the original end of the Narborough Road tram route) and Upperton Road for resurfacing work. This meant the road plane was in use and exposed a real treat for passers by.

Desperate Reader: April 2015

http://desperatereader.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 28, 2015. The entry card gives a sort of mad hatters tea party feel to the occasion. Until this year Leicestershire has been a hole in the National Trust map - there are plenty of places about an hour away in neighbouring counties but there was nothing on the proverbial doorstep to warrant membership. That's now changed with the acquisition and opening of Stoneywell Cottage a small (but perfectly formed) property in a fairly extensive garden. Stoneywell really is like something out of a bo...

hull history centre: July 2014

http://hullhistorycentre.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

News, stories and updates from behind the scenes at the Hull History Centre. Thursday, 17 July 2014. Digital Heritage 2014 conference. On Saturday I attended the Digital Heritage 2014 conference. Organised by the Centre for Digital Heritage. With an eye to both current and possible future projects in mind. I was struck by the multi-disciplinary nature of the Centre and hope that the current initiatives at Hull based around the Creative Economy. Can be as effective. Sanna Wicks (University of Birmingham) ...

Desperate Reader: June 2015

http://desperatereader.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Friday, June 26, 2015. My colour sense is built around dealing with it in blocks and stripes, I like subtle variations and rich but not necessarily bright shades. That doesn't work in Fair Isle type designs. Traditional colours based on available dyes and whatever sheep were wearing that year provide a limited but very effective palate, chemical dyes have however created a world of temptation that requires more thought to navigate. Links to this post. Meanwhile I've obviously been acquiring books, and wo...

Desperate Reader: May 2015

http://desperatereader.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, May 31, 2015. For Whom The Cloche Tolls - Angus Wilson. This one is a bit of an oddity. I regularly see Angus Wilson's name on the spines of old Penguins and similar, as regularly think I should one day read him to see what he's all about, and then immediately forget all about it. I picked up 'For Whom The Cloche Tolls' on Thursday in a charity shop, attracted by the illustrations as much as anything, and then read it. Almost by accident - it's a quick read. Enjoy herself she does, much to the di...
