This is Loughborough! (Travel Guide) - Sport! Steam! Socks!

Famous for training world class athletes, Loughborough also boasts an arts scene, an 800 year old market, and the romance of steam at the Great Central Railway. Learn about Ladybird books, ramble across ancient volcanic rocks, and greet the Sockman on this short tour. I lived nearby for nearly twenty years before moving to Cumbria and had great fun rediscovering the town this summer whist visiting family.

Why socks are so important to Loughborough's history;
The history of Ladybird books;

The 'movie star' Great Central Railway;
