[edit] County hall

I've spectacularly failed to find out where (and even if there was one) County Hall was prior to the one at Glenfield. I can't think of any obvious buildings - the best I can come up with in the Times archive is the Conway Buildings, which are given as an address for the County Treasurer (this now apparently used by the City Council) Morwen - Talk 19:51, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

According to a legal notice they inserted in the London Gazette on September 9, 1966 their adress was County Buildings, Grey Friars, Leicester

That corresponds: Conway Buildings are at Greyfriars, also. Morwen - Talk 22:19, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IPA Pronunciation

The current IPA pronunciation of ˈlɛstəʃə seems incorrect ('lesta-sha'). Locally it is pronounced 'lesta-sheer', which I think should be IPA: 'lɛstəʃɪər. Can anyone who knows more than me about IPA (shouldn't be difficult) confirm this? Thanks. --Michig 14:19, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
