About
When building a new estate in the village of Hugglescote in Leicestershire, the constructors gave a nod to “Star Wars” by creating a roundabout which when viewed from above was a representation of the Death Star.
The reason being that Hugglestone was once home to Palitoy, who used to manufacture “Star Wars” figurines (as well as Action Man and Pippa Dolls).
