  • Bailey's Croft
    95 and 97 Main Street, Willoughby, photographed in 1985. ‘Bailey’sCroft’, Willoughbyon the Wolds DavidBailey From the early part of the eighteenth century the Bailey families who gave their name to the ‘Bailey Croft’ development at Willoughbylived in these cottages and the farm at the rear. The families originated in Nottingham before moving to the parishes of Wymeswoldand Nether Broughtonin Leicestershire, close to the border with Nottinghamshire. They finally settled at Willoughbyon the Woldsin the southernmosttip of Nottinghamshire. There they lived and worked, within the village community, for two centuries. A greater part of that time was spent living in the cottages pictured above. This building witnessed their growth into an established village family who, over five generations, were involved in shoemaking, joinery, shop-keeping and farming. They were joined in marriage by other families from Willoughbyand nearby parishes. The family had also become monconformistin the early ninetenthcentury and followed the Wesleyan Methodist tradition. Their lives were far from being uneventful, experiencing their share of tragedy. The advent of the twentieth century heralded the 1 Road map with distances (in miles) to surrounding settlements. decline of village life. Two World Wars, improved transport links, mass production and new farming methods changed village life forever. No longer was there a requirement for craftsmen or tradesmen within the community. Family members sought employment away from the village, where they married and raised a family. Consequently, with the passing of time, many of the families in the village ceased to exist. The Bailey family was no exception. In 1987 the last family member living at Willoughbyon the Wolds died.

  • Leicestershire Sustainable Community Strategy
    LEICESTERSHIRE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY STRATEGY FINAL DRAFT MARCH 2008 1 Introduction I am pleased to present our Sustainable Community Strategy to you on behalf of Leicestershire Together, the Local Strategic Partnership for Leicestershire. Leicestershire Together includes all of the organisations and partnerships that deliver public services in Leicestershire, and we seek to improve the quality of life and of public services in the County. This draft Sustainable Community Strategy proposes priorities for improvement in Leicestershire over the next 5 years. These are largely based upon two draft evidence base reports ‘This is Leicestershire’ and ‘Places in Leicestershire’. The structure of the new Sustainable Community Strategy is quite different to that of the previous Community Strategy in that it focuses on what we are going to do rather than how we are going to do it. Our second Local Area Agreement (LAA2) is the key delivery framework for the strategy (the ‘how’ bit) – and more details on the LAA can be found later in this document. The challenge that faces us now is to deliver the ambitions outlined in this Strategy, making a real and measurable difference to the lives of Leicestershire people. David Parsons Chair, Leicestershire Together Contact details: Telephone: 0116 305 6977/8137 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.leicestershiretogether.org Write to us: Policy Team, Chief Executives Department, Leicestershire County Council, County Hall, Glenfield, Leicestershire LE3 8RA 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Leicestershire Together Leicestershire Together is the Local Strategic Partnership for Leicestershire and includes all of the organisations and partnerships that deliver public services in the County. Our aim is to improve the quality of life for the people of Leicestershire and make Leicestershire the best possible place to live and work for everyone.
