The next series of photographs I took of the Ashby Road roadworks was in mid-February 2021.

Until very recently, one could find a telephone box (of the KX100 sort) at the end of Wordsworth Road in Thorpe Acre, between the village green and the shops. March 2021 However, when I visited the shops earlier today, I noticed that the phone box was gone, with the only signs of anything having ever been there being some newer-looking bricks for paving and a patch of tarmac that wasn't even properly set yet. It's just a pity that I didn't arrive earlier to see the (awful-looking, by the way) telephone box being taken away. It was there... but it's not. P.S. In case you're interested, the telephone number was 01509 216364.

 This Citroen H Van food truck was parked up occasionally at the railway station several years ago. These photos were taken in May 2015.

 These photos were taken on the 16th of November 2019. Shelthorpe's local shops are like a town centre of its own. The shops boast a Texaco petrol station, a McDonald's, Loughborough's Tesco Extra, a Domino's Pizza (this picture was taken prior to its opening), a pet shop, cafés and takeaways, two convenience stores, a pharmacy and post office and a variety of other establishments, which are all in a distinct area along part of Park Road and around the roundabout. The interior of Tesco Extra, taken from the store café. The sea of shopping trolleys parked outside Tesco Extra. George Sharp Court, off Farnham Road. The Farnham Road green. Farnham Road is on the right, George Sharp Court is in the centre of the background, and Lingdale Close is on the extreme left. The Farnham Road play area, with Farnham Road in the background.

These photographs are of the Grange Park Estate in June 2021.  You may remember that I made another visit previously in January 2018 , when I looked around the estate and even got to look around the show home! (Many thanks to the folks at William Davis Homes!) The large housing estate was completed last year. Allendale Road, looking towards Caincross Close (left) and Wylie Close (right). In the foreground is one of the two new parks/playgrounds on the Grange Park Estate. (Caincross Close seems to stop immediately before the pale mid-terrace house.) Panning further right, we see the Allendale Road park, with Glen Road in the background. Near the middle of the picture, Glen Road stops and meets Highland Drive. Highland Drive is the longest street in the Grange Park Estate, at 0.6 miles long. Allendale Road (front to back) crosses Highland Drive (left to right). Panning further right, looking down a footpath towards Highland Drive from Allendale Road. At the far end of Allendale Road. Goo
