Main Street, Scraptoft
This has lost much of its village character with the advent of major housing development round and about. The local Co-operative store still houses a local Post Office.

Former estate cottages, Main Street, Scraptoft
Extended at both sides in the early 21st century. The initials http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5735118 on the cottage possibly refer to the Hartopp family who were associated with Scraptoft Hall.
Credit to the architect responsible; unlike most modern pastiche of traditional design, where stretcher bond brickwork is a give-away of the newness, here care has been taken to reproduce the proper Flemish bond pattern, even though the 'headers' are probably only a half brick deep.
There is a bench mark http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5735116 just to the left of the passage under the building.

Pear Tree Stores and Rose Cottage, Scraptoft
The stores have probably been trading here for some time, although unlikely to go back quite as far as the house, which is dated 1703 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5735094 . Rose Cottage, with the thatched roof, dates from around the same time, but has been substantially modernised. Both buildings are Listed Grade II, Rose Cottage for group value only.

Bus stop on Church Hill, Scraptoft
As if to emphasise that Scraptoft is a village, its main bus stop is provided with a wooden bus shelter, next to which is a parish council notice board. When this picture was taken, the village was served by route 56 from Leicester city centre via Uppingham Road and Thurnby.

The Cottage, Hamilton Lane, Scraptoft ? detail
Only alternate headers are black bricks, giving a diagonal pattern rather than the more usual chequer. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5735099 for location.
