Over the past century or so Leicester has changed dramatically.  

New highways have been constructed, including the

Concentric  ring  roads that  now encircle  the city.  

Slum areas  in   the districts  around  Wharf  Street

and   Highfields  were  cleared  to  be  replaced  by

Inner  city housing  estates  such as St Peter’s  and

St Matthew’s

 

Leicester Then & Now with 200 photographs

And  informative  captions  tells  the  story  of  this redevelopment  and recaptures scenes and views of bygone  days,  along  with  the  story  of  how  the

alterations have come to pass.
