The "Illustrated History of Leicester's Suburbs" shows how the countryside, farms and villages developed into the urban streets, residential areas, shopping districts and industrial estates that are so familiar today. Highly illustrated.

In the course of the last 150 years, the outskirts of the city have been transformed, and they would have expanded in a way that would astonish Leicester residents of just a few generations ago.

Author, Christine Jordan, offers a concise history of each district, but she also features local anecdotes, myths and folklore, and she remembers remarkable, sometimes bizarre, episodes and notable individuals who played their part in the story.

Her survey will be essential reading and reference for everyone who takes an interest in their neighbourhood and in the complex, surprising history of the city itself

The origins and development of districts as diverse as Aylestone, Braunstone, Stoneygate, Evington, Spinney Hills and Clarendon Park are recalled in her account, as are the stories of the many other communities that make up the modern city.

CHRISTINE JORDAN is an expert on Leicester's architecture and a keen student of its history.

As well as lecturing on local architectural history, she has contributed to magazines and journals including the Leicester Victorian Society Newsletter and Context. She lives in Leicester.

Lightweight and practical for carrying just the essentials
Size: One Size Fits Most, Color: (001) Black / / White
This waist bag is super practical and lightweight, perfect for days when I don’t want to carry a full purse. The fabric feels sturdy and the zipper works smoothly, nothing cheap or flimsy. It actually fits more than it looks phone, keys, lip balm, small wallet all organized without feeling bulky. The strap adjusts well and stays in place, and it’s comfortable to wear crossbody or around the waist. It’s definitely more for essentials than for carrying a lot, but for quick errands, walks, gym or travel it’s perfect. Clean design, good quality, and easy to match with any outfit.

Great Bag
Size: One Size Fits Most, Color: (025) Castlerock / Black / Black
Plenty of space even for my book on the plane. No more need for a personal item. I will say that I made the mistake of hanging my hands on the belt bag and tweaked the muscles in my neck from that. Great durable back though. I paid around $20-25
