Book Description
Excerpt from Leicester, Vol. 1 of 2: An Autobiography From standing with some wistfulness in the twilight road I turn slowly away; shoulders rounded, collar awry, hands deep in pockets: slouch to the right, along the second side (at right angles to the road) of the wall, and there stop - thinking about things.

Book Description
The Story of Leicester traces the evolution of this remarkable city. When the Romans arrived they developed an existing settlement into Ratae, an administrative capital. During the Tudor, Stuart and Georgian periods the town lost status, but remained an important market town. Industrialisation and population growth radically changed Leicester during Victorian times and it became prosperous, its economy underpinned by the hosiery, boot and shoe and engineering industries – the basis of modern Leicester. This popular history brings the story of the city up to date and provides new insights that will delight both residents and visitors.
