One Man's Wigston: Sixty Years' Recollections of Everyday Life in Wigston Magna (Leicestershire Remembered) - Softcover
One Man's Wigston is the highly individual and colorful view of a Leicestershire community since the 1930s. Written by Duncan Lucas, a well known Wigstonian, the book includes a host of village characters and enough yarns to thread a knitting frame!
Although Wigston is regarded today as an industrial town on the outskirts of Leicester, it was only fifty years or so ago that cattle were driven along Aylestone Lane and many villagers still worked on the land. Mr. Lucas records many aspects of this former time in loving detail. Here is a history of a community with a truly human focus. It will awaken many memories for older Wigstonians, and help more recent arrivals understand the bygone lives and ways of the town.
