    Good morning Listers,   Some of you will have received already the compilation of the e-mails on the above topic, but it looks as if there are still memories you wish to share with us.   So, please keep them coming in either to the List, or to my e-mail address, & I will save them.   At the end of June 2012 I will prepare a revised article which will include all these new items.     Apart from new memories about our Midland Red buses, other memories of the 1940s are being sent to the list which, I feel, should be included.   In the meantime, the original article is available for anyone who would like a copy.   Please contact me off list.       Regards     June Fleetwood     West Yorkshire 

Can't receive BBC Radio 4 here, but would I love a Melton Mowbray pie - I remember my parents selling the small ones from our shop in Osmaston Road, for 9d each in the mid 1950's.

Hi Nivard I went to school there [hastings and the grammar as it was then] and was back there a few weeks ago. the shopping is still very good, with the market being on mondays and saturdays but it has been spoilt by the northern perimeter road going through it.

Hi Linda Yes the L658 went down the Hinckley road , not sure if it went further than Hinckley (Nuneaton?) The last time I used that bus was at least 35+ years ago so seems odd I can remember it Hinckley is another place thats not mentioned so often on the lists, it was and hopefully still is a nice Market Town :-) We would go to Hinckley to avoid the hustle & bustle of Leicester , it was a more laid back atmosphere , not dissimilar to Truro here in Cornwall I suppose that like most towns and cities its suffering with a decline in trade Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > did the 658 go through to Hinckley > > the one I used the most was the 54 that I caught on narborough road > opposite haddenham road and it cost a threepenny bit to go into town lol

Hi June One of the less earth shattering but nonetheless surprising things that surfaced from these recollections was that our memory for bus numbers is quite remarkable :-) I mailed my sister during the course of this thread and she replied with some of her memories about Leicester, including and without a reminder the bus numbers that I also remembered despite not being on a bus in years much less in Leicestershire Our buses were the L19 and the L658 I know others have mentioned their bus numbers too, they obviously played quite a part in our lives either waiting for them or being on them and I guess thats why we remember them Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) Hi Listers I have finally completed the 'cut & paste' of your memories & the article is now ready. If you would like a copy, please conact me OFF LIST at [email protected] The article is 21 pages long & includes over 200 contributions.

Brian Yet again, a most beautifully written & eloquent piece. By the way, my father knew the Curry family. I have saved all your Victorian Letters for re-reading again later. Do you realise how stimulating your contribution of these letters to the List has been? I have had e-mails from people who had, for whatever reason, allowed their interest in Genealogy to wane, but you have re-awakened this interest for them. For that alone, we thank you Brian. Cannot wait to read your next piece....... Regards June Fleetwood West Yorkshire From: Brian Binns <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 21 February 2012, 10:01 Subject: [LEI] Shop connections One of my paternal lines can be traced back to a William Campion who lived in Loughborough for the first half of the 19th century. He was born c. 1783, married in Loughborough in 1808, and died there in 1848. Campion is an odd surname to trace as it occurs in enclaves across England and Ireland too. There are those that think it is a corruption of a French surname - Champion? - and perhaps is of Huguenot origins. Whatever, this William was recorded on the 1841 census as being born outside of Leicestershire, and my guess, as I cannot trace back further, is that his family moved to Loughborough from Nottingham. His occupation, from various sources, is either recorded as a Machine Smith, Blacksmith, or Whitesmith. Two of his sons, George b. 1813 and William b. 1822 followed on as machine smiths, George remaining in Loughborough, but William moving to the Sneinton area of Nottingham in the 1840s. Following George's death in 1858 in Loughborough, two of his sons William and Henry moved to Nottingham along with sisters Emma and Ada. This William then formed a company with his uncle William in Nottingham as Sewing Machine Manufacturers, employing brother Henry. Another brother, George, also moved to Nottingham as a Frame Smith. The two Williams worked together for a few years before dissolving the partnership. There are dozens and dozens of patents taken out by a William Campion over this period and later, some minor, some major, but it is impossible on many of them to determine exactly which William it was. Yet another instance of our ancestors using the same Christian names, just to confuse future genealogists! The elder William then concentrated more on industrial knitting machines, whereas the younger William opened a factory making home Sewing Machines following him establishing a patent on the Jenny Lind machine. He also visited France and saw the production of bicycles, which led him to start cycle production alongside making Sewing Machines. One of his early employees was a Thomas Humber, who subsequently founded his own cycle works in Beeston, Notts, before expanding into motorised tricycles. He opened a factory in Coventry to produce Motor Cars, which then became The Humber Car Company. Brothers George and Henry both moved from being smiths into the pub trade, with differing outcomes, and incidentally both Williams also ran pubs in later life - a boozy family! But back to Campion Cycles. These proved very popular, and William, now with his eldest son Edwin, developed the company and opened several retail premises in Nottingham, and as far as Mansfield, Ilkeston, Long Eaton and Newark. They also had three branches in Leicester; 12 Welford Place, St. Nicholas Street, and 45 Braunston Gate. The company was now making motor cycles and motor tricycles, and even a small car. But their cars never took off as had the ones of their former worker, Thomas Humber. In researching the Campions, (and I have a lot more detail than I can include here), I wondered what happened to the company, and this is where I found another Leicester connection. The retail side was apparently bought by Curry's in 1927, and this is when I discovered that the firm of Curry's was in fact founded in Leicester, and also started out as a cycle maker and retailer. This is their entry from Wikipedia. Curry's was founded in 1884 by Henry Curry (born in Leicester in 1850), when he started to build bicycles full time in a shed at the back of his garden at 40 Painter Street, Leicester, England. He opened his first shop in 1888 at 271 Belgrave Gate, Leicester. In 1890 he moved to larger premises at 296 Belgrave Gate, then in 1900 to 285-287 Belgrave Gate. The company was put on a proper financial footing in 1897 when Henry formed a partnership with his sons, calling the company H. Curry & Sons. The business continued to grow and floated on the stock exchange in 1927. By this time the shops sold a wide variety of goods including bicycles, toys, radios and gramophones. Curry's pulled out of cycle manufacturing in 1932 when they closed their Leicester factory but continued to retail Hercules bikes (badged as Curry's) until the 1960s. It would appear that Campion continued with making and selling motor cycles as they are listed as such in phone books in Leicester and Nottingham well into the 1930s. Another Leicester connection is that Edwin Campion once owned and lived in Wymeswold Hall.

That was an interesting read, Brian. My late father-in-law worked for Campions as a motorcycle mechanic, I think at Welford Place. This would be in the 1930s. He used to road race a works bike, ie he had some sponsorship from Campions, competing at the old Donington Park circuit that went through the bridge (now altered) and at Syston Park, Grantham. If you are interested, I'll ask my husband if he can add to my memory of what my father-in-law told me. I regularly passed the Braunstone Gate branch in the early 1960s.

As most from Leicestershire will know, Melton Mowbray Pork Pies have now achieved "Protected Geographical Status" and can only be called Melton Mowbray Pork Pies if they are made in a designated region. This is not just Melton but stretches out for about a 15 mile radius and includes Walkers of Leicester. See this link http://www.mmppa.co.uk/ for a list of genuine Melton Pie Makers.

I was born and lived in Nuneaton for the first 20 years of my life, and in the late 40s, 50s and early 60s relied on Midland Red buses as a major means of travel. >From what I remember, each town with a Midland Red garage had a range of local routes commencing with the initial town letter followed by two numbers, eg N for Nuneaton, L for Leicester, C for Coventry etc.. Routes between towns and cities used three numbers, usually beginning with 6 or 7. I often used the 658 bus, which ran between Coventry and Leicester through Nuneaton and Hinckley, to get to Leicester. As Midland Red operated across the whole region, some long routes had the letter X followed by two numbers. I seem to recacall a service from Leicester through Coventry to Birmingham beginning with X, and there was a X route from Nuneaton to Hereford. Of course, many young boys in the late 40s could obtain a book of all the bus fleet numbers, a parallel to trainspotting. Obviously the fleet was eventually divided into smaller geographical ares, but nowadays there seems to be a fleet of turqoise and cream Arriva buses in towns and cities all over the country!!
