Ones to watch

Time seems to be flying by, and we're already near the end of January!

Following the previous two posts about changes that happened in Loughborough during 2024, here's a very short post, focussing on changes and developments that are going to happen largely in 2025. I shan't cover the Garendon Estate here, as it's such a big project, and the properties aren't likely to be completed anytime soon. So, here are just two of the many developments I've seen recently.

Firstly, something finally seems to be happening to Atherstone House, the building which until October 2023 was home to the Moon and Bell, a Wetherspoons pub. Signs have appeared in the windows, work people have been spotted upstairs, and the signage suggests things will be progressing in the spring.

The other development I've been watching closely is the new housing that is starting to be built on the outskirts of Woodthorpe village. The entrance to the field being built on is where the road takes a ninety-degree turn to the village houses. If you walk along that road, there is a footpath to the left, which takes you to the GCR bridge (no. 339), and thence to the back of One Ash, and into Quorn. However, you can look back from the bridge towards the house building, which gives a sense of how big the field and the building area is. Hope that makes sense!!
