DRIVER Bill Phillips of Leicester had a lucky escape when his 35-tonne excavator toppled into a cellar of a Rutland Street house he was demolishing in February 1980. He was making way for the new Isaac Newton Shopping Centre. The jib just avoided crashing into the Maltings which were later developed as a suite of offices.

Another great Grantham event, alas no more

A CYCLIST comes to grief in Guildhall Street in the 1980 criteriums. Behind him the Campion Depot site is cleared but Argos is yet to be built. On the right, Blue Court is still unoccupied, vandalised former homes.
