A Century of Leicester offers an insight into the daily lives and living conditions of local people and gives the reader glimpses and details of familiar places during a century of unprecedented change. Many aspects of Leicester's recent history are covered, famous occasions and individuals are remembered and the impact of national and international events is witnessed. A Century of Leicester provides a striking account of the changes that have so altered the city's appearance and records the process of transformation. Drawing on detailed local knowledge of the community, and illustrated with a wealth of black-and-white photographs, this book recalls what Leicester has lost in terms of buildings, traditions and ways of life. It also acknowledges the regeneration that has taken place and celebrates the character and energy of local people as they move through the first years of this new century.

In 1904, when Leicester Corporation opened its state-of-the-art electric tram network, it enjoyed a monopoly on routes and convenient central terminal points. But soon the first small independent motor bus companies became active, and by 1921, Midland Red - shortly to be the largest operator in England outside London - was busily establishing itself. The city fathers were faced with a quandary; protecting their territory and services, and possibly extending them, albeit in the face of determined competition, whilst at the same time endeavouring to provide termini that were as invitingly close to the city centre as possible. In this they were assisted by the 1930 Transport Act, which provided the template for fifty years of fairly peaceful co-existence between Leicester City Transport and Midland Red. That is until the provisions of a new Act in 1980 set them at loggerheads again. Leicester's Trams and Buses - 20th Century Landmarks examines in detail the background behind five key events - the opening of the electric tram network in 1904 and its closure in 1949; the arrival of Midland Red in Leicester in 1921, via the protracted planning for Leicester's first proper bus station, to the so-called bus wars in the deregulation and privatisation era of the 1980s. It concludes that it was the pursuit of policies, at local and national government levels, which ultimately led to opportunities being missed that could have provided Leicester city and county with a fully integrated modern-day network.

Leicester began as a small Colonial settlement in the early 1700s and quickly blossomed into a flourishing farming community. Located among the headwaters of the Blackstone River, the numerous villages of Leicester prospered during the Industrial Revolution with gristmills, sawmills, and textile mills. By the 1880s, one-third of all hand and machine cards made in North America were produced in Leicester. After the deindustrialization of the twentieth century, the town began to return to its agricultural roots; today, for the most part, it appears largely rural once again. Leicester pays tribute to the industrial, yet rural, and independent, yet cooperative, spirit of this suburb of Worcester.

Aspects of Leicester 1 is the first Wharncliffe title to appear in the East Midlands. However in Yorkshire and Lancashire, our publications have gathered a devoted following and after only ten years of publication, earlier titles are already sought after collectors items In Aspects of Leicester 1, John Hinks, has drawn together twelve fascinating views of the city's history. From Medieval Alms House origins, we visit The Hospital of the Holy Trinity and nearby Newarke Houses, now a museum but which once housed a colourful assortment of people. Among the personalities who contributed to Leicester's history we meet, John Throsby, historian and engraver, Thomas Cooper, Chartist leader and publisher, Sir Jonathan North, Manufacturer, Politician and Philanthropist, plus a number of Local Businesswomen who controlled Leicester enterprises between the 16th and the late 19th centuries. We witness the Defence of Ladysmith by the Leicestershire Regiment in 'Caged Tigers', while closer to home we learn of the 19th Century Knitting Industry and the numerous trades surrounding the horse in 19th century Leicester, 'Respectability and Economy' introduces the funeral customs of Leicester folk in the early 20th century. Literary life in the city is not forgotten, with 'Larkin About', and the story of the development of libraries from medieval chained libraries to the present day free access service. Aspects of Leicester provides a totally new approach to local history which will prove equally valuable to the dedicated researcher and the armchair historian. Key Selling Points * No similar publication available. * New and fascinating slants on the history of Leicester. * Contributions from well known and new local authors. * Development of well respected series. About the editor John Hinks retired from the post of County Librarian of Leicestershire in 1997, since when he has been researching the history of the book trade in Leicester while filling a part-time lecturing post at Loughborough University.
