Great PSA. Leicestershire libraries also have loads of audiobooks (& ebooks) to choose from via Borrowbox - so useful, particularly if you can't get to the library. It's handy for magazine subscriptions too

156. Nanpantan, SW of Loughborough. The name is thought to come from ‘Pantain’, Anglo-Saxon for enclosure. The church’s War Memorial is a single block of Charnwood granite. Nearby Whittle Hill was known for ‘hone’ stones, used to sharpen knives; its quarry, opened in 1837, shut in the early C20th.
