Peaky Blinders filmed at 'little known gem' Kelmarsh Tunnel Peaky Blinders may be synonymous with Birmingham, but some of the new movie was shot in Northamptonshire.

Ray Toseland refereed the first FA Vase Final in 1975 & was on the line for the FA Trophy Final the year before. Although usually associated with Kettering he moved to nearby Market Harborough over the border in Leicestershire for his later seasons, the same move later made by Brian Hill.

Help Save Leicestershire’s Bronze Age Torc Help us raise £10,000 towards Leicestershire Museums' acquisition of this unique object so that it can remain in the public domain.

We've started a crowdfunding campaign to ensure that a 3,000-year-old golden torc discovered last year near Harborough can be saved and brought back to the county - but we only have until mid-March to do it!

I think that's just a call centre. My last 2 copies didn't arrive and it's very annoying dialing 01858 and being told a replacement will take 10 days

Comedic romp unlike any Dickens you’ve seen before I was concerned that my scant knowledge of Dickens’ novels might be inadequate to really enjoy Harborough Theatre’s latest production, Bleak Expectations.

Do you remember when the Neville hosted a band on a Thursday every month? They were called the A Levels and I think included members of Coast To Coast. It was always heaving

German General POWs Couldn't Believe What British Families Were Really Like Behind Closed Doors
German General POWs Couldn't Believe What British Families Were Really Like Behind Closed Doors YouTube video by WW2 Edge Stories

A German POW, years of Nazi propaganda, and a simple cup of tea in Market Harborough.
How the "ordinary decency" of a British farming family dismantled a soldier’s indoctrination and changed his life forever. A powerful look at human connection.
