South Wigston War Memorial
Listed Grade II. "The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever with tens of thousands of memorials erected across England. This was the result of both the huge impact on communities of the loss of 750,000 British lives, and also the official policy of not repatriating the dead which meant that the memorials provided the main focus of the grief felt at this great loss. One such memorial was raised at South Wigston, as a permanent testament to the sacrifice made by the 106 members of the parishes of South Wigston and Glen Parva who lost their lives in the First World War" Unveiled in 1923, and altered in 1951 to commemorate a further 51 lives lost in the Second World War. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1464815?section=official-listing

Ritz, 53-57 Blaby Road, South Wigston
This building started life in 1920 as The Picture House, an early cinema. In 1938 it received a new external facade, and was renamed the Ritz. It ceased to be a cinema in 1980, when like so many others it became a bingo hall, but retained the Ritz as its name. There are no notices outside, so possibly it is no longer in use for bingo.
