I’m trying to find out where this photo of me was taken about 55 or 56 year ago in 1968 or 1969.  It would probably be within a 5 to 8 mile radius of Bulkington, Warwickshire.

Harborough District Council have received the following planning application.

Edward Kennard (above) was Deputy Lieutenant of Leicestershire and a justice of the peace, who lived at ‘The Barn’(below), which was a large property situated on the hill off Shrewsbury Avenue in Little Bowden, Market Harborough. He had travelled in America during the Civil War (1861 – 1865) and entered Richmond, Virginia with the Northern troops. He won the second prize in the 1,000 miles motor competition in 1900 and was an ardent motor cyclist. Edward Kennard’s paintings in watercolours and oils were regarded as treasures in leading art circles, especially those done on china. Of which he had a unique collection. He also won several prizes for photography and was a well- known sporting novelist.

Kibworth Cricket Club celebrated another remarkable year in 2024, with impressive performances across the men's, women's, and junior teams, alongside hosting several high-profile external matches that reinforced the club's standing as Leicestershire's premier cricket venue.

Sundials were used to tell the time in the days before clocks and watches. Nowadays they make lovely garden decorations.
