How Leicester has changed 1989 to 2024 as seen with images. Part 3

In 1989 I photographed parts of Leicester and have come back in 2024 , 35 years later, to see how things have changed, moving between images from 1989 and 2024.
These are the areas I will cover in this video, The Old Odeon Cinema, Athena Events, Art Deco Factory in Cultural Quarter, YMCA, subway, Railway Station, Victorian building on London Road, view over Clarendon Park, Freemen's Common, Old shoe factory on Knighton Fields Road East, The Old Cattle Market, the market refreshment rooms, now the Counting House Pub and the Prison.
This is the third of three Then and Now videos I have made on Leicester.
The pictures I took back in the 80s are from all over the city so I have tried to group them together. In the second video I focused on roughly around the castle and De Montfort University, which was called Leicester Polytechnic then and the first was the more central area, the link for the videos is at the end of this one

Thank you for these videos! The train station would have looked drastically different if it hadn't been for the work of my Dad and the Leicester Civic Society who mounted a successful campaign to save the Victorian front.

Great videos - thanks so much for sharing! I really enjoyed them! I studied abroad at the University of Leicester in 1989-1990 so it was really wonderful to see the pics from 1989 and now in 2024! And coincidently I saw Dead Poets Society at the Odeon during that year! Thanks again!!!

Great video I was born in Leicester and left in 1989 so it had real interesting to see how things change I still go back every year as my family live there. The photo of the building that you didn't no the name I'm wondering if it was the die hard rave club witch Was 37 to 43 Rutland street opposite the odeon,?

Thank you, that was very interesting again, I think on all three videos where there’s been shops it’s very rare the same shop was in both years, they seem to change completely most of them

[@eclecticexperience1]

Thanks, it has been quite amazing seeing just how much change there has been in the shops !

The rooms inside the ymca have changed. I noticed builders working there and asked. I understood the accommodation was being made more compact and made more rooms but smaller😢 rooms.i only know the theatre part.
