The "Illustrated History of Leicester's Suburbs" shows how the countryside, farms and villages developed into the urban streets, residential areas, shopping districts and industrial estates that are so familiar today. Highly illustrated.

In the course of the last 150 years, the outskirts of the city have been transformed, and they would have expanded in a way that would astonish Leicester residents of just a few generations ago.

Author, Christine Jordan, offers a concise history of each district, but she also features local anecdotes, myths and folklore, and she remembers remarkable, sometimes bizarre, episodes and notable individuals who played their part in the story.

Her survey will be essential reading and reference for everyone who takes an interest in their neighbourhood and in the complex, surprising history of the city itself

The origins and development of districts as diverse as Aylestone, Braunstone, Stoneygate, Evington, Spinney Hills and Clarendon Park are recalled in her account, as are the stories of the many other communities that make up the modern city.

CHRISTINE JORDAN is an expert on Leicester's architecture and a keen student of its history.

As well as lecturing on local architectural history, she has contributed to magazines and journals including the Leicester Victorian Society Newsletter and Context. She lives in Leicester.

Defective clasp
Color: Sweet Lilac, Color: Sweet Lilac
I recently purchased this bracelet and while I love the design, the lock is unfortunately not functional and won't stay secure.​ I am torn on this review. The bracelet is absolutely stunning I'd give the look a 5-star. It looks high-end and the design is perfect. ​The functionality is a 1-star. The lock is completely defective and does not stay closed, which makes it unwearable. It's disappointing to have such a beautiful piece that I can't actually use. If the clasp worked, this would be a perfect purchase.

Beautiful but hard to lock/closed
Color: Pearl White
It’s really nice. The only reason I put only 4 stars is because it’s hard to close/lock it by yourself. Takes a few seconds, but everntually you’ll get it. Love that it’s mother of pearl and 18k gold plated, you won’t worry that it will smell like a rust. Material and quality is good. I have a big wrist and the size is just perfect for me. This is less than 8 because 8 is too big for me and 7 is super right only, not much allowance.
