In the late 80s I would be in the Black Swan as the renamed Ojay's most Fridays and Saturdays to watch bands as well as playing onstage myself. Otherwise we'd be at the Charlotte or Magazine doing the same. Those were some excellent times.
How many of us socialised with friends and met boyfriends/girlfriends in these places every weekend. They were the hive of activity and Im very sad they are gone.
Beautiful memories.So sad and miss the good old days❤

love the videos
Thanks
Call me an old curmudgeon but in what way is this better?
I lived in Leicester in early 90’s and left my heart there. I like your videos. What is the music behind these pictures?
To be fair most of these are in areas where other commercial venues have failed as well. They're victims of area blight as much as anything.
Nice to see that all these buildings (As far as I know) in the video are still standing today and have a new use. Some pub buildings wern't so lucky.
Agreed it is good they have been given a new life.
Durham ox is back 💪
I used to drink in the black swan.
The Firs in Wigston used to be great.
Beer got too expensive
