There are a couple of things I do besides illustrating, painting figures and organising wargames and one of them in the local village forum, basically a bunch of busy bodies trying to save the character of the village. Well I am a very lucky man as these were emailed to me and there show the village in the 30s to 50s. Lovely photos they are too and I thought that I would share them with you.

| Conversation Club, Not really changed |
 |
| Heslrige Manor, also not really changed |
 |
| Main Street, end houses still there but the rest are gone and shop and flats are there |
 |
| Main Street, only the trees remain and both pubs are gone. |
 |
| Main Street, you would find a 1950s school on the field now. |
 |
| Monk's Rest, used to be the Old Vicarage now posh flats with a lovely view of a park . |
 |
| The Beeches, now a old peoples room waiting to be converted into flats. |
 |
| The Warren, has not changes at all |
 |
| Thurmaston Lane, houses all gone and now awaiting development |
 |
| Tithe Barn, now a Luxury House |
Now there is an insight to where I live, lol. Maybe I should have a the battle of Humberstone and create the village of old?
