The "Illustrated History of Leicester's Suburbs" shows how the countryside, farms and villages developed into the urban streets, residential areas, shopping districts and industrial estates that are so familiar today. Highly illustrated.

In the course of the last 150 years, the outskirts of the city have been transformed, and they would have expanded in a way that would astonish Leicester residents of just a few generations ago.

Author, Christine Jordan, offers a concise history of each district, but she also features local anecdotes, myths and folklore, and she remembers remarkable, sometimes bizarre, episodes and notable individuals who played their part in the story.

Her survey will be essential reading and reference for everyone who takes an interest in their neighbourhood and in the complex, surprising history of the city itself

The origins and development of districts as diverse as Aylestone, Braunstone, Stoneygate, Evington, Spinney Hills and Clarendon Park are recalled in her account, as are the stories of the many other communities that make up the modern city.

CHRISTINE JORDAN is an expert on Leicester's architecture and a keen student of its history.

As well as lecturing on local architectural history, she has contributed to magazines and journals including the Leicester Victorian Society Newsletter and Context. She lives in Leicester.

Color is not the same as picture, too light, assembly is harder than it should be
Size: g:Square Table with Umbrella Hole, Color: Light Grey
I had higher hopes for this table given the 80 dollar price tag. The gray finish is MUCH brighter than what is displayed in the picture. What's advertised matched the gray Adirondack set that I currently have in my yard, what came in was about 5 shades lighter. The assembly only had a few steps to it with a total of 8 bolts but it was more difficult that it had to be has the holes didn't line up very well and I actually had to bend one of the metal pieces to get the screw to line up. I ordered this piece initially to serve two purposes, the first was to add more stability to my ever blowing over umbrella, the second was to add a matching table piece in-between my two Adirondack chairs. This piece does neither very well. It is too light in color to match and serve to complete the set, and it is not heavy enough to add any layer of stability. For these reasons, I cannot recommend this piece.

Nice, but...
Size: g:Square Table with Umbrella Hole, Color: Black
Second one I bought. So I do like it, but for the price they could include an extra screw and washer. Also it would be much more convenient if the holes would line up correctly. That's why I gave only 3 stars. But it is a nice table.

Durability
I was very satisfied with the quality of another Best Choice Products: Ice Chest. So, I was happy to see the umbrella stand, weighted by water, was available by this company. It is, once again, made very resilient and strong to withstand tipping over. I'm a happy customer of this company's products!

Great design and easy to put together!
Color: Black - Square
Works very well and this is easily put together! I filled mine with water and it is more than heavy enough to withstand a strong gust of wind. Highly recommended!
