Leicester is a changed place i remember when everything was nice now the high street shops are closing and all the good businesses are gone
Looked a great place when the video was made, Today its a muck hole, all but most of the locals are well gone, Just full of folk from over seas.
I was thinking there's definitely a completely demographic walking around in the background
Completely different*
Born in Leicester miss it
lived in leicester from 1963 to 1995, loved churchgate with crystals and braniggans and the REALLY cool pub in between as well as the fish and quart
It's looks far better then than now
Ravel favourite shoe shop look like 45 years ago
It's nice to know I'm not the only one who gets Cank and Silver Streets mixed up :D
I lived in Leicester 1973 to 1988 (excluding a gap for university). I had almost forgotten this place.
Wish I could move lol I've live in a nice village five miles away
From the city centre
To think the coffee house is now a Tim Hortons is cool
You are very well spoken not really got the leicester still you are interesting guy and this is really well informed
I did some work for cable 7 Jenny was the best

it is now a shite hole, unsafe in the city , esp granby st, awful, the racial dynamic then and now in this footage, unrecognisable,
