The old Golden Wonder building’s restoration is coming along now, the lower floor retail units are taking shape and should be a good addition to the High Street. It appears (from ad boards) that Phase Eight is going to be taking a unit within the development. This re-inforces my worries about Market Harborough eventually becoming [...]

As you can see from the pictures, the old Golden Wonder site, in Market Harborough, is being ripped apart and being readied for the coming of a new Travel Lodge. What does this mean for local hotel The 3 Swans? My own personal feelings on this, are that it won’t affect business too much, as [...]

Rumour has it, the old Sanderson Ford car showroom on Springfield Street, will be a new Waitrose store. “Another supermarket?”, I hear you ask. Well apparently, maybe, if the rumours are to be believed. As I find out more I shall update the post. I did find THIS article on the Harborough Mail website from [...]

I’ve heard this rumour from 4 different sources now and it appears we may well be getting a Pizza Express in Market harborough on the site of the old Peacock Pub.

The new wine warehouse, Majestic, on St Mary’s Road in Market Harborough has begun work. The ground has been broken and concrete pilings have been sunk. But what does this mean for the town of Market Harborough? Well I’m guessing that this was one of the final nails in the coffin of the Threshers franchise, [...]

I was out walking to work (yes I have a day job just like Clarke Kent) the other morning and saw how stunning the sunrise was, by the time I’d got back to my house and grabbed my camera (2 mins) the sunrise had changed completely. Nevertheless I took these 3 images. The 4th image [...]

As a UFO is seen over Harborough, this leads to the question, “When does an object become a UFO?”

I found this interesting painting of old Market Harborough. It shows the Grammar School and St Dionysius Church with everyday life taking place.
