Loughborough Carillon and Carilloneurs Part 1

So, the month of June seems to have been a lot about the Carillon, and related things! Earlier in the month, I took the opportunity to climb the Carillon tower, and look out over Queen's Park, over Loughborough, over to Beacon Hill and the Outwoods, to the Leicestershire Wolds, and even over to East Midlands airport! I've been up the tower many times over the years, and I've taken photos of the views from many of Loughborough's taller places and from the town's rooftops, but here are some photos from my latest tower climb - simply in the order in which I took them!

Looking towards the Leicestershire Wolds, with parish church tower

View of the bandstand looking towards Granby Street

The roof of Charnwood Museum, centre

Looking towards the university, Towers Hall of residence to the rear left, Beacon Hill in distance

Looking along possibly Arthur Street and Curzon Street

Gardens on Arthur Street and Curzon Street, with cars parked along Burleigh Road (or York Road)

Cars probably on Burleigh Road, catholic church on Ashby Road on the left

Emmanuel Church, and the leisure centre rooftop!

Park Road to the right, and convent buildings centre and left

Premiere Inn (white), convent far right

Looking across to Granby Street car park and bowling green (Premiere Inn is the white building)

Rear of mill buildings off Ward's End / Devonshire Square


The cupola atop the public library

The Charnwood Museum in Queen's Park

Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station in the distance
