What will Leicester be like After Richard? Kathryn, a resident, explains a bit about Leicester and how the discovery of Richard III has already affected the city and will in future:
Will Richard III change us?
King Richard III by Unknown artist.
National Portrait GalleryIt was a cold, dull and damp day in Leicester last Friday but I was determined it wouldn’t spoil the afternoon. A friend had come to stay for the weekend and I was going to show her around Leicester. I’ve never been hugely fond of the city, feeling a far greater affinity with the south of the country, but, on Friday, I saw it through someone else’s eyes for the first time and realised that it’s a far more interesting and friendly place than I ever gave it credit for.

I have a black and white photo of Leicester I got some time ago when I first discovered Richard (not the Third)–it’s from an older time, but thought then that I would love to see the town at some point. I’ve only been to England once for a few days, but I’ve always wanted to go back and do things I didn’t get to do the first time–and now seeing Leicester is definitely on my list.
Thanks for linking to this! :)
You’re welcome. :)
Stephanie, Leicester is nice. The people are even more so. Definitely a place to go.
Thanks, this doesn’t surprise me at all. I only hope I get to find out for myself someday soon. I loved England when I was there, but my travelling companion and I wound up spending more time in France than we’d planned originally, so there wasn’t as much left for England.
