Comments on map:
Inset on 1:63,360 map, oriented east (presumably to preserve landscape format), which also has insets of Syston, Belgrave and Sileby: as the Belgrave inset includes Marfitt Street and 'New Council School', it might be a little later than the 1900 suggested by Leicestershire RO cards.
