Turnover Bridge No 82 near Kilby was extensively repaired in 2002. The canal had to be drained for a time for this work. The towpath changes sides here and reverts back at the Wistow - Kibworth Road. It is said this was done to appease some landowners who did not want the towpath to be sited on their side of the canal. 9-145 Home Guard Kilby Bridge 1945.jpg Lucas Archive 9-145 Home Guard Kilby Bridge 1945 10-1 Copy of painting of Kilby Bridge.jpg Lucas Archive 10-1 Copy of painting of Kilby Bridge 10-1 Painting of Kilby Bridge spotted in Winnipeg Canada by Harvey Cramp.jpg Lucas Archive 10-1 Painting of Kilby Bridge spotted in Winnipeg Canada by Harvey Cramp 10-2 Tythorn farmyard 1964.jpg Lucas Archive 10-2 Tythorn farmyard 1964 Tythorn Farmhouse, near Kilby Bridge, was situated in a remote spot near the canal overlooking Kilby; It never had a made up access road. A semi mansion built in the late 18th century, it had been home to generations of the Langham family who were prosperous farmers, largely due to supplying prime beef to the expanding London market. By 1964, the date of the photograph it was condemned and then demolished by order of the Council. The discovery of a Neolithic axe head nearby proves the age of the site. 10-2a Tythorn farmyard 1964.jpg Lucas Archive 10-2a Tythorn farmyard 1964 Tythorn Farmhouse, near Kilby Bridge, was situated in a remote spot near the canal overlooking Kilby; It never had a made up access road.

  • LESOPS 25 Lott Et Al
    2 A Provisional Atlas of the Carabidae of Leicestershire & Rutland Derek Lott, Graham Finch & Gareth Price LESOPS 25 (2011) ISSN 0957 - 1019 A collaborative publication from The Leicestershire & Rutland Environmental Resources Centre and The Leicestershire Entomological Society 3 FOREWORD In the spring of 2009, Derek Lott, Graham Finch & Gareth Price embarked on the production of this atlas. The idea of the atlas was the brainchild of Graham Finch, who had attended a ground beetle training course and became well aware of the need for a VC55 distribution atlas. In July 2009 a very simple first draft was produced. Derek Lott and Graham Finch scrutinized the first draft. A number of important issues needed consideration, such as taxonomic changes, the classification of sites, obtaining accurate grid references and the removal of invalid species records falsely recorded in Leicestershire and Rutland. Derek Lott provided Carabidae context to some sites in the gazetteer as well as providing species context. The production of this atlas was made much easier by the life-long work of Derek Lott, who had already accumulated vast amounts of ground beetle data and local knowledge, without which this atlas would not have been possible. Special thanks go the Carabidae recorders who have sent in records. We have endeavoured to reference and acknowledge the people and sources that have helped in the production of this atlas but often with natural history publications there are too many people to thank over a very long period of time. Our apologies go to the people or sources that have been inadvertently omitted. The gazetteer obtained information from a number of sources, in particular the Flora of Leicestershire (Primavesi & Evans, 1988) and the Flora of Rutland (Messenger, 1971).
