Ashby-De-La-Zouch - But Where's The Sea - The local Chairman of the Council, Leonard Marshal running over the song with a couple of his girl work-mates. He thinks it is very funny. Nothing at all has ever happened to the little town Ashby-de-la-Zouch since Mary queen of Scots spent a night there in the Middle Ages. And then one night recently a song came over the radio in which a crooner sang: "Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Castle Abbey, that's the only place that I long to be-" and for the second time in 350 years, Ashby-de-la-Zouch blazed into the limelight. May 5, 1946. (Photo by Mirror Features).
