  • February 15th 1999. Tony Blair is Prime Minister. Leicester City still play at Filbert Street. In two days the team will reach the final of the League Cup. Gary Lineker's family still have a fruit and vegetable stall at the outdoor market.

      The middle area of Highcross looks so abandoned since a majority of the shops closed down, I have so many memories of walking Debenhams and House of Fraser.

      Rob Grassby no it's not .....still the same Victorian town ... don't be fooled by the modern buildings. Leicester is still in many ways a very medieval Victorian city ......starting with the people (no ethnics )

    Went to the poly in 1980, stayed in de Monfort square, up the new walk. great town, good times.
    Still remember “The Globe” pub, st. Martins records, the hippy shop “ The Very Bizzare”.
