Loved your videos! I moved to the States in 1977, I was 22 and love to see my old memories of Leicester. Thank you!

Really interesting to see the changes, especially the Cattle Market, and to hear a bit of information about particular buildings. I enjoyed this.

A blast from the past. Thank you for sharing ❤

Yes, that small building was next to the leather warehouse on the corner. A mishmash of mostly small industrial stuff, if my memory serves me correctly. Cheers!

I miss the old Odeon. Such a beautiful building. Used to be really nice inside as well with a gorgeous cinema with very confy seats. The inside has been ruined now. Such a shame. Removing the subway by the railway station was a rubbish idea as well. Very useful if you were running late for your train. Especially as now you have to traverse two pedestrian crossings which aren't green at the same time and the roads are very busy. Extremely dangerous. They did a good job with renovating the area where the cattle market used to be.

Thank you for these videos! The train station would have looked drastically different if it hadn't been for the work of my Dad and the Leicester Civic Society who mounted a successful campaign to save the Victorian front.

Great videos - thanks so much for sharing! I really enjoyed them! I studied abroad at the University of Leicester in 1989-1990 so it was really wonderful to see the pics from 1989 and now in 2024! And coincidently I saw Dead Poets Society at the Odeon during that year! Thanks again!!!

Thanks - what a coincidence on the Dead Poets Society!

Thank you, that was very interesting again, I think on all three videos where there’s been shops it’s very rare the same shop was in both years, they seem to change completely most of them

[@eclecticexperience1]

Thanks, it has been quite amazing seeing just how much change there has been in the shops !

[@bernardgulliford6950]

Great video I was born in Leicester and left in 1989 so it had real interesting to see how things change I still go back every year as my family live there. The photo of the building that you didn't no the name I'm wondering if it was the die hard rave club witch Was 37 to 43 Rutland street opposite the odeon,?

[@alantheskinhead]

That was my old club!

The rooms inside the ymca have changed. I noticed builders working there and asked. I understood the accommodation was being made more compact and made more rooms but smaller😢 rooms.i only know the theatre part.

[@susanstreet1]
