Local history mysteries
« on: Monday 03 December 18 07:55 GMT (UK) »
Hello  kr Hey up.me ducks

new daytime community radio  has been launched on air 1449fm

Its focus is Leicester. ...not the whole county
My program was "Leicester locals"

I want to have a weekly show called history mysteries ...and wonder if anyone would like to participate share ideas .help make the shows etc

I think it will be very popular and become a daily show but is that my bias cos I like  mysteries and histories and being  a time travel detective

I'm going to start with  a general program about finding grandparents origins .
Then about a street need St Margaret s where many shoe making families
Lived

Maybe look at some.local family names



Any ideas .very welcome. ..should I look at well known stories such as green bicycle murder case ? Alice Hawkins ..
What about having grandparents compare toys with grandchildren,
It will all be prerecorded but hope to include an element of listener participation

What woUldale  you like to hear 
any ideas of music tracks with historical edge or do you know any local musicians



I did a show the origins of a box made at a displacement camp near Leicester found the pot war address of tbe maker ...an Estonian who  became a police officer before emigrating to canada

And some stories & poems about my great grandfather  who was arrestedin 1916 in Wales for being given an alien  .

The radio transmission based at the African Caribbean centre so if you tune in evenings it will  be music based show .
Daytime show recorder by presenters at different locations.
