Greeting’s Miss Piggy….

Going West from the Towers Hospital
GIPSY LANE.
“ The Naseby” Corner of Naseby Road./ Gipsy Lane.

Then there was a Public Hose Corner Huntington Road
But can’t remember the name…Sorry 

Then you go through a VERY LOW Railway bridge.

“ Gipsy Lane Working Mans Club.”
Corner of Oliver Road.

Then….
“ Wyvern Arms “ Barkby Road. / Catherine Street. / Gipsy Lane Corner

Then….
“ Gipsy Road Hotel “ Harrison Road./ Gipsy Road.

Sorry I don't recall a Public Hose " Towers "
Unless it was part of
" The Leicester Brewing & Malting Co. Ltd. "
Humberstone Lodge, Gipsy Lane

Railway Stations close to Towers Hospital. ?

Uppingham Road. St. Barnabas Road / Uppingham Road (G.N.Railways  )
Only a small station……
Closest Public House to this was the "The Uppingham Pub "
next to Sparrow Park

Belgrave Road Station. Main Terminus for G.N.R…….

London Road. Main Station for L.M.S 
Great Central Station. Main Station for Great. Central. Northern Railway.

When I worked at the Towers ( Catering) back in the 60’s
We went to “ The Salutation” Corner of Victoria Road East / The Portway

I know this is an old thread!! just found it tho.

My gt aunt Dorothy Taylor was matron at the Towers for many years and her daughter Jean was a sister.

Did you know them Mike- when you worked there?

I used to hear all sorts of stories about the place when I was a young girl.
