The family firm adapted to changes and sales of rainwear, knitwear and other clothes would eventually account for four-fifths of total sales. Full advantage was also taken of new technical advances and after the Second World War a whole new range of man-made fibres would revolutionise the production of umbrella covers.

Traffic and Travel Leicester to Burton rail line could be reopened - along with a new station at Ashby Campaigners are drawing up plans to reopen the line, which would connect Burton with Ashby, Desford, Bagworth and Coalville.

However, we don't want to exclude younger people, so anyone over the age of 80 can contribute as well! A small amount of information from this project will contribute to the Modern Leicester section of Leicester City Council's Story of Leicester website. All the recordings will be catalogued at EMOHA and made available to anyone who would like to listen to them.
At present there are no plans to put this material online but we may want to put some of the material on the EMOHA or My Leicestershire History website at some point in the future. This will be a huge effort that will require a lot of help from volunteers. EMOHA can provide training, sound recorders, expenses, and all the support needed to record people's memories - but we can't do it all ourselves and we need help. If you would like to take part, suggest someone to record, or just have a chat, call Colin Hyde on or Email: The project information sheet - Information sheet.
