Bits and bobs about the London County Council, GLC, pre- and post-1965 boroughs in London. Love municipal stuff from the past that lives on today. Plus New Towns, motorways, shopping and leisure centres, public transport, infrastructure and so on.

On my whistle-stop round-trip to Derbyshire (via Nottinghamshire) yesterday, I managed to squeeze in some Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station photos before it’s too late. These are taken from the appropriately named Long Lane which runs out of Kegworth (which is actually in Leicestershire).

Today’s municipal treasure: I got this off eBay, where it was listed as an “East Ham Town Council” badge. That doesn’t sound quite right for a County Borough, so my guess is that“TC” stands for Technical College instead. Thoughts welcomed!

Precisely one year and one day ago I fulfilled a personal ambition when I toured Hilversum Town Hall. Precisely one year and one day later I have finally written up my piece on the visit. Here it is - enjoy! #Hilversum #Dudok #municipal https://lccmunicipal.com/2026/04/10/hilversum-calling/
