Leicestershire in 1940. Surprising images from the first year of World War 2 

This album of old vintage photos was taken in 1940 in Leicester and the surrounding Leicestershire and Rutland countryside during the first year of World War 2. It shows members of the local cycling club (Leicestershire Road Club) and the day trips they took exploring the area as well of shots from the city centre, particularly during the snow and cold weather in January and February.
