The rich history of a Leicestershire town has been re-written by children for Leicester Comedy Festival.

Funny short stories about notable locations around Coalville have been created by school pupils at Broom Leys Primary School. An abandoned sweet shop in the mines, a mother frozen in glue and a giant in the Memorial Clock Tower are among the tales written by the children.

The stories can be read on a mobile phone app which will guide users along a trail around the landmarks, which include Snibston Colliery Park and the Century Theatre.

Some of the children from Broom Leys Primary School and head teacher Robert Prior spoke to 麻豆社 Leicester's Geeta Pendse.
