Some interesting info
about Leicester. Leicester is a city and unitary authority area
in the East Midlands area of England. It is also the county
town of Leicestershire. The city lies on the River Soar and
at the edge of the National Forest. In 2006, the population
of the Leicester unitary authority was estimated at 289,700,
the largest in the East Midlands, whilst 441,213 people
lived in the wider Leicester Urban Area. Eurostat's Larger
Urban Zone listed the population of the area at 772,400
people as of 2004. Leicester is the 10th most populous
settlement in the United Kingdom using the 2001 census
definitions and the urban area is the fifteenth largest
conurbation in the UK, the second largest in the region
behind the Nottingham Urban Area.
Ancient Roman pavements and baths remain in Leicester from
its early settlement as Ratae Corieltauvorum, a Roman
military outpost in a region inhabited by the Celtic
Corieltauvi tribe. Following the demise of Roman society the
early medieval Ratae Corieltauvorum is shrouded in
obscurity, but when the settlement was captured by the Danes
it became one of five fortified towns important to the
Danelaw. The name "Leicester" is thought to derive from the
words castra of the "Ligore", meaning a camp on the River
Legro, an early name for the River Soar[citation needed].
Leicester appears in the Domesday Book as "Ledecestre".
Leicester continued to grow throughout the Early Modern
period as a market town, although it was the Industrial
Revolution that facilitated an unparalleled process of
unplanned urbanisation in the area.
A newly constructed rail and canal network routed through
the area stimulated industrial growth in the 19th century,
and Leicester became a major economic centre with a variety
of manufacturers engaged in engineering, shoemaking and
hosiery production. The economic success of these
industries, and businesses ancillary to them resulted in
significant urban expansion into the surrounding
countryside. The boundaries of Leicester were extended
throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, becoming a county
borough in 1889, and granted city status in 1919.
Today, Leicester is located on the Midland Main Line and
close to the M1 motorway. The city has a large ethnic
minority population, particularly of South Asian origin, a
product of immigration to the United Kingdom since the
Second World War. To cater for the South Asian community,
there are many Hindu, Sikh and Muslim places of worship and
the Melton Road district serves as a focus, containing large
numbers of Asian restaurants and other small businesses.
Leicester is a centre for higher education, with both
Leicester University and De Montfort University being based
in the city. Some of the info about Leicester is taken from wikipedia.org to whom we thank, but are unable to confirm it's accuracy. |
