At the beginning of the 1950s, Leicester was an industrial city
picking itself up from the debris of the Second World War. Compared
with nearby Coventry, Leicester has been a relatively safe place,
but the effects of the Blitz were still very evident in New Walk
and in the residential areas of Highfields and Stoneygate. After
years of operating on a wartime economy, Leicester's major
industries - textiles, hosiery and machine tools - faced the
challenge of returning to domestic production, and in assimilating
a large male workforce returning from the battlefields of Europe
and beyond to civilian life. In Leicester in the 1950s, Stephen
Butt traces the vibrant lives of those recovering from the
destruction of the Second World War.
