[email protected] or telephone: 0116 454 1001 East-West Link Road : A Phoenix from the Ashes The East-West Link Road in its various forms has been an idea since 1916. The most recent serious attempt to build a road bridge across Leicester’s green lungs of Aylestone Meadows was in the early nineties when Bede Island was being regenerated. Fortunately, fierce local opposition and ever increasing costs caused councillors at County Hall who were then responsible for building new roads, to abandon the idea. However, Leicester City Council has been consulting about including it in the next Local Plan. The Local Plan is an attempt by the City Council to meet the needs of its citizens for homes, jobs and leisure for the next 15 years. Another round of consultation on the next stage of the Local Plan will take place later this year. The current proposed route is from Narborough Road along Evesham Road and through Aylestone Meadows to Aylestone Road. It will then cross St. Mary’s to join with Saffron Lane. A local campaign group called “End of the Road LE3” wants the City Council to remove it from any future Local Plan.

Some muddy patches after rain along the river. Waypoints Great Central Railway (52.66658; -1.13374) The Great Central Railway is now a heritage railway which links Leicester and Nottingham. Leicester North Station is the southernmost station. It is on the route of the original railway that linked Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham and Leicester with London Marylebone. It was originally called Belgrave and Birstall Station. Following Beecham's sentence of death it became derelict but was restored by the Main Line Steam Trust and is now the site of a proposed new heritage railway museum. Backed by £10 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund, it is set to open in 2021 Walk down The Sidings, turn left and proceed a few yards along Redhill Way, turning left into Belgrave Cemetery Belgrave Cemetry (52.66637; -1.13221) 1 / 7 During the 1800's owing to the rapidly expanding towns and cities, sanitation was becoming appalling with diseases; such as cholera becoming mass killers. Up until about the middle of the 1800's those who died in urban areas such as Belgrave were buried in urban churchyards and had been for about 850 years since the Norman Conquest.
