Leicestershire... It's home of the pork pie, something we're all familiar with no doubt, but it's also where the jet engine was developed and where they make blue tak. And what about red leicester and stilton cheese!? It's also where you find a manufacturer of some of the most insane motor vehicles ever made known as "Ultima"
Using a copy of the 1923 Michelin Guide, I'll be travelling the country to see what remains and what's changed since it's publication. The guide offers suggestions on thing to see and where to stay all with the goal of getting you out there and exploring in your motor vehicle.

For nerds of a certain age Ashby de la Zouch is a Mecca of computer gaming history. It was the home of 'Ultimate Play the Game', producers of some of the finest titles for the ZX Spectrum between 1983 and 1987. Younger Nintendo and Xbox gamers may know the company in its later incarnation, 'Rare'. 🤓🕹️

It's great you mentioned Ultima cars, but, but, but, but, you were yards from the Great Central Railway & no mention of it? The new A60 bridge you were stood under next to Brush Transformers, will be used for the Reunification. The bridge was demolished & severed the link to the national rail network, which the Nottinghamshire side of the Great Central Railway uses. On the new bridge, ballast has been laid on one deck (this is the side which will carry the new ‘link line' between the two halves of the Great Central. The other bridge deck is now being prepared for track, so that trains from the national rail network can resume running again on the GCR (Nottingham) line north of Loughborough.

Also missed the Leicester and Swannington railway (which he was practically on top of) - one of the oldest in the UK and still running. If you mention Ultimate, then perhaps a mention of Noble in Leicester would make sense too. As he was passing through the area, the Caterpillar works at Peckleton used to be an airfield and a site for Reid and Sigrist - who set up a training school that existed through the 1939-1945 minor disagreement and even tried to sell an aircraft of their own design.

Re: 25% of the population having no qualifications. Remember that before 1965 most children at Secondary Moderns (so most children) did not do any exams before leaving school at 15 - they just got jobs, often from local employers who visited the schools to hire them. In 1965 the CSE exam was invented, after which more children did get formal qualifications, but even so it was probably not "normal" until the school leaving age was raised in 1972. This means that most people born before c1955 left school without formal qualifications. That on its own is about 10-15% of the population. If you then add in population that is under 16 - ie. not old enough to have any formal qualifications - 25% is, if anything, quite low.

In Coalville there used to be the Palitoy factory, which made, amongst many things, Star Wars action figures, and Action Man. The factory has long gone, but on the site is a housing estate, where you will find an 'Action Man Road', and a 'Pippa Avenue' - Pippa being a British simalcrum of 'Barbie', if I remember correctly. I bet that Action Man Road sign gets 'borrowed' regularly. Joking aside, I'd love that as an address.

@borderlands6606 2 месяца назад

Pippa was a smaller figure than Barbie. Tressy ("her hair grows") was the Palitoy's Barbie equivalent. As a bloke I shouldn't know this, but long hours gawping at a telly can do that to you. Which is why I haven't watched it since the millennium.

I didn't even get Action Man, but Tommy Gunn, a Pedigree Toys version who looked like he'd been in a fire. Tommy Gunn went on to become the Captain Scarlet figure.
