Recommended Quality Websites (My Top Five Reciprocal Links)
|
|
Leicestershire Past and Present: My favourite. This is an excellent website with well thought-out, interesting, modern and historical articles about Leicester, the County and the people from there. The originator, Elizabeth Batt, is from Leicester and now lives in Utah. She has put a lot of care, professionalism and work into the content of her website.
|
About Leicestershire: Welcome to this independent site that's all about Leicestershire, why not try a virtual tour, check out coming events in "What's On," or just browse the pages about the towns and villages of Leicestershire. |
|
Leicester Research: Max Wade-Matthews is a writer and researcher who has written many books on his adopted city of Leicester as well as on topics ranging from railways to music. If you would like to learn more about Leicester's long and colourful history, then check out this most promising new website. Subjects include the Victorian Clock Tower, the City's association with King Richard III and "A year in the life of Leicester: 1836," In addition, Max is also available for research projects on almost any subject - especially Local History and Family History. He has also made many contributions to the Leicester Overseas' Who's Who section. |
|
Olive & Eric: OliveandEric.com is expat Keith Mason's wonderfully nostalgic website. He was originally from Leicester and now lives in London. Olive and Eric were his parents and his website is dedicated to them as a young English couple who, during the second world war were, like millions of others, separated from each other. Olive was left at home in Leicester with three very young children and Eric was sent first to North Africa and then to Italy. Through their letters to each other, you can share the feeling of those times in a way which history books can never convey. |
|
Yes I know it's a bit obvious, but their Expats Bulletin Board really did inspire me to start this website. The Mercury's website is called "This is Leicestershire," and it's a must for all ex-pats. Find local and national news, sports, chat, as well as interesting articles and features. Much more besides including "Friends of Leicestershire." Leicester Overseas was the Mercury's "Site of the Week" for almost three weeks in February. |

Other Leicester-Related Websites
|
| ~ A Railway Walk ~ |
| I enjoy stumbling upon websites dealing with Leicester or the GCR. "A Railway Walk" is one man's lament as he walks along disused sections of the Great Central. An interesting perspective; also contains links to other GCR sites. |
| ~ Belvoir Castle ~ |
| Belvoir (as in beaver) Castle is the home of the Duke of Rutland. So many references on the "Net" say it's near Grantham, Leicestershire - wrong!!! (should be Lincolnshire). Follow the link (left) or try this one: [link] |
| ~ Charnwood Online ~ |
| Charnwood Online is your one-stop Web guide to that very charming area of Leicestershire. It contains links to numerous local websites, together with details of local organisations and events. Lots of good content and images. |

| ~ Famous Ghosts of Leicester ~ |
| The City of Leicester, with its rich and colourful history, has always had its fare share of ghost stories, and when two mysterious, luminous figures were caught on the security cameras at Belgrave Hall, Leicester became the ghost capital of the world. This link is courtesy of the Leicester Museums and contains information on several museum ghosts. For an in-depth look at the Belgrave Hall haunting go to this article by Elizabeth Batt. [link] |
| ~ Great Central Railway Society ~ |
| Not exactly a Leicester site as such. This is the home page of the Great Central Railway Society (GCRS). The GCRS was founded in 1974 and invites membership from all who are interested in any aspect of the former Great Central Railway or its history. |
| ~ Industrial Heritage ~ |
| This web site is dedicated to Matthew Townsend, (1817-1879) who's ideas and inventions helped revolutionise the hosiery Industry. Matthew was born 14th of February 1817, in the village of Cropston, Leicestershire. His father was a Framework Knitter, one of many at that time. This is the trade that Matthew would have learnt from a very early age, probably as young as ten, the apprenticeship being the usual seven years. By the age of twenty, he was living and working in the city of Leicester, as a fancy hosier making such things as gloves, shawls and cravats. He soon built up enough business and became a hosiery manufacturer, owning two factories with a workforce of around 400. |
| ~ Joseph Carey Merrick ~ |
|
I have just discovered this first class website about our own Leicester-born hero Joseph Merrick "The Elephant Man." I think the Leicester City Council should erect a statue to this man and should stop ignoring him. As far as I am concerned, he is Leicester's most famous son. Any statue could be tastefully done: showing him in his cape, oversized hat and using the mask that he frequently wore to disguise his appearance. The following is a poem by Joseph: Was I so tall, could reach the pole, Or grasp the ocean with a span; I would be measured by the soul, The mind's the standard of the man." |
| ~ Kegworth ~ |
| The village of Kegworth is in North Leicestershire and once the home of famous cartoonist Bill Tidy. The site has many items of interest including images of the village and further links to local restaurants, pubs, hotels and places of interest. |

| Knowhere Boards for Leicestershire: This link will take you to the list of Leicestershire villages and towns that in turn will give you the following information for each centre listed: Entertainment, Events, Shops, Other Stuff, Knowhere Chat, Knowhere Bulletin Board. The introduction page for the Leicester board is very poorly written. |
| ~ Leicester City FC ~ |
| Home of the official Leicester City Football Club website. Catch up on the "Foxes" progress for this past season. Leicester has just won the League Cup for the 2nd time in three years (and after appearing at Wembley three years in a row). You can get all of the latest reports and statistics from this excellent site. Check out this little known area of the Leicester City website: "Great Players from the Past" --> [link] |
| ~ Leicester Free Exchange ~ |
| Leicester's meeting and trading place; free public and business advertising. Free classifieds; services directory together with local news, weather and local search engine. |

| ~ Leicester Tigers RFC ~ |
| Leicester City may have had its ups and downs, but the Tigers have been among the best for years. Last August, a record 9 Tigers played for England in a game against Canada (who also fielded one of the Tigers team). |
| ~ LeicesterWeb ~ |
| They aim to have something new and interesting for all ages every week, so that it becomes a regular stopping place for the people of Leicester and Leicestershire (and Leicester Overseas). However, I don't think any ones home so don't bother trying to contact them; they will just ignore you. |
| ~ LSSO ~ |
| Leicestershire Schools Symphony Orchestra: This website is for all ex-members of this orchestra who played during the Eric Pinkett years. It contains the names, E-mail addresses and phone numbers of all know former players (organised by the instrument played) and the names of all former players whose whereabouts are still unknown (organised by the approximate year they left the LSSO). Big reunion planned for June 2000. |
| ~ MultiMap ~ |
| See Leicester by Multimap: Again not strictly a local website but interesting none-the-less. Contains a complete interactive atlas on the web. Just click on the UK outline map to start browsing, or enter the name of a city, town, village, or postcode to get a detailed map of your old neighbourhood. |
| ~ Musical Leicester ~ |
| There was an amazing diversity of music-making in Leicester during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, involving many nationally and internationally renowned performers. Musical Leicester describes the evolution of such diverse forms of music-making as classical music concerts, minstrel troupes, oratorios, local orchestras, brass bands, bell ringing, organists and church choirs. This webpage is part of the "Heart of Albion Press' site, and the book's author is Leicester's own Max Wade-Matthews. |
| ~ Harborough District - Towns and Villages ~ |
| From the timber-framed and thatched cottages of Arnesby to the beautiful undulating hills of Tilton on the Hill, visit some of the locations in the Harborough district and wonder why Leicestershire is so under rated as County of beauty and of rich variety.

The particular article is a draft version and example of what will appear on his CD "A Virtual Stroll Through Leicester." This CD will be available through his website when it's complete. Bookmark this page on Churchgate; it will be updated and added too frequently. |

Warning: this Top 100 site is incredibly slow to load |

Get Paid to Surf and Work:
I run this one the most, and it's now my favourite (I'm so fickle). The reason is that you not only get paid for any time on the computer, you can actually be away from it for up to half an hour at a time and still be paid. You do have to log back in every 30 minutes though (a simple click suffices). Stable and no trouble to run. Desktop Dollars: pays a percentage of the total company advertising revenues. The actual pay rate is estimated at $0.50 an hour for running a program that shows you ads and your monthly surfing hours are unlimited.
Another pretty good one, and I run this one fairly consistently as well. It only pays when you are both active at the computer (not just surfing) and moving the mouse (at least every minute). It doesn't work when you are doing a lot of straight typing however. You also have to click on a number of ads, but not a great many. Good (instant) stats available. Limitations: It's a bit big for my liking; however, this is the beta version, so maybe they will make the final version thinner.
