Random holiday picspam 11: Loughborough/Nottingham/Derby/Leicester (2002/2003)

[luinalda]

Okay, again maybe not really "holiday", but whatever. ;-)

From the end of July 2002 until February 2003 I stayed in England to do an internship at a smaller company as part of my university studies. I lived and worked in Shepshed, a small town in Leicestershire. The next bigger town was Loughborough. I spent practically all my Saturdays in either Nottingham, Derby, Leicester or sometimes Loughborough, because there wasn't anything of interest in Shepshed... ;-)

These seriously are ALL the photos I have from these cities. I deeply regret not having taken lots more! But I guess if you live in one place/area for a longer time you kinda think that there's always another time to take some pictures... :-((

Mine was the room with the open window.


a street on my way to work
If you walk up the couple of steps on the right (where the little blue banister is) you get to the supermarket.

Tee-hee. I can imagine. ;-) I was on Wikipedia and Google Images to look the names of certain things up and got a bit confused when I saw pics of the Market Square. :D
