As others see Leicester …… part two

We are now regular visitors to Leicester.

Guild Hall Lane, 2023

And despite Leicester being home to our Polly, Joshua and two of our grandchildren we are visitors.

But in January we became tourists, having booked into an airbnb on Charles Street, and spent two days exploring the city.

This was a revelation because until then we had only known the cosmopolitan area around Harrow Road and the very pleasant Knighton.

The weather wasn’t good, but we walked the centre, discovered the clock tower, a delightful set of cafés, restaurants and bars and ended up at the museum.

And throughout I snapped away producing a collection of touristy pictures.

And that is it
