Yes he did and lived in the Leicester workhouse in conduit street near the railway station.

He was then put on show in a theatre in wharf street incidently building work is going on down there at the moment and you can still see some of the colours on a wall from the old theatre.

Not long after he was taken by Frederic trieves and taken to London.....the rest is history.

Think I best leave it there, it's not heading in the direction I was hoping! Not claiming Scargill then?"

I suppose you could say Richard 111 as history has told us he was laid in a grave in grey friars Leicester after the battle of bosworth....its another debate as to being famous or infamous and also he wasn't from Leicester !!!.

Ozzy is from Birmingham and not strictly from the Black Country but you can replace him with phill lynot from thin lizzy born in west brom, and Judas Priest it to be fair if its rock your after then if it ain't from the Birmingham Black Country area then it probably ain't worth mentioning lol

near the sounds of the wimborne quarter jack!

Al Astewert - sang "Year Of The Cat" amonst others. I haven`t met him but I have met his father and step mother/step father and mother but I can`t remember which it was!

Robert Fripp - band member of King Crimson, a 60`s/70`s prog rock band and husband of Toyah Wilcox. They lived in a small village nearby until they moved to a house owned by Cecil Beaton. My ex-girlfriend was a relation to Robert Fripp so there`s quite a few of his family around the area.

Billy Burden - local comedian who once appeared on telly in a short lived comedy series. Think it was called "Oh Happy Band and it also starred Harry Worth for those old enough to remember him.
