Last week we looked at some of the properties on Ashby Road that bore odd numbers.
This came about because back in August 2013 I had taken a trip down Ashby Road,
photographing the beautiful houses, some of the architectural detail, and the
area in general. I also briefly looked into the history of some of the houses,
and who had lived in them, all of which led to a blog post in October 2013. So,
today let's look at those buildings along Ashby Road with even numbers! Some of
the shops will follow next week!
Here's what I
saw – I’ll try and show you a photo from 2013 next to one from 2023, although in all honesty I didn't share many pictures in 2013, so I've supplemented these with some from 2020! We'll start at the lower-numbered end of the street!

| You may not be able to tell, but the gate piers from 2013 have been replaced with new ones! |
The following properties, photographed in 2023, are from no.154 to no.182 - Victorian properties, 1930s ones, 1950s ones, and newer!
And here we go back to substantial Victorian detached properties.

I understand that the house at the junction of Ashby Road and Epinal Way was the home of Dr Jenner who used to practice in the town. I think his surgery was on the Bedford square Victoria Street junction.
ReplyDeleteHello Anonymous! Absolutely right! Dr Roy Maurice Jenner (1909-1980) lived at number 152 (the house next door to the house (now a dentist) at the junction with Radmoor Road) when he first came to Loughborough (around early 1940s) before moving to number 216 (right on the corner of the Ashby Road/Epinal Way roundabout) sometime before 1959. He did have the surgery on Victoria Street where the 1980s flats are now. Thank you for reading the blog! Lynne
