Photograph from Grange Road of fields that will be developed into the Grange View housing estate. Taken approx 2018. On the left is the Hugglescote Surgery. This view is roughly where the entrance to Percival Road will be built in 2020.

Photograph taken on Grange Road, Hugglescote. October 2021. Taken from as near as possible to the viewpoint of a previous picture in July 2018 when all that was visible was Hugglesote Surgery (on the left ) and farming land.

On Station Road, Coalville.

Showing the Marlborough Square Methodist Church and a bingo hall, converted from what was previously the Regal Cinema (1933). A second former-cinema (REX Cinema, 1938) is located along the road to the right, meeting with the other cinema in an L-shape. A third former cinema, the Coalville Electric Theatre (1910), still exists in another use at the opposite end of the square. Rather a lot of cinemas for such a small town! Only the Century Theatre remains operational today. Camera: Olympus Mju II Film: Kodak Gold 200 Scanner: Nikon D7200 Conversion software: Grain2Pixel (unedited)

Showing the former REX Cinema on the left, more recently a "Dunelm Mill" - even that has closed now. Unlike many cases of closed cinema buildings, this one's architecture seems relatively well-preserved.

This is part of the Miners Welfare sports ground, hence the preserved pit wheel.
