Work on electrifying the Midland Main Line, the vital long-distance corridor that serves the UK’s industrial heartland, will continue alongside the line-speed and capacity improvement works that were already in hand. Electrification of the line north of Bedford to Kettering and Corby is scheduled to be completed by 2019, and the line north of Kettering to Leicester, Derby/Nottingham and Sheffield by 2023. Outputs The Midland Main line Electrification Programme known as the MMLe is split into two key output dates, the first running from 2014-2019 (known as CP5) and the second, 2019-2023 (CP6). There are a number of sub projects running under the main MMLe programme which are delivering various improvements in the Leicestershire area. Each sub project has dependencies with each other to enable the full ES001- Midland Main Line electrification programme to be achieved A number of interfaces and assumptions link to these programmes and their sub projects will affect Leicestershire.

  • EARL SHILTON TOWN CRICKET CLUB “HISTORY SHORTS” No 1
    EARL SHILTON TOWN CRICKET CLUB “HISTORY SHORTS” No 1 Mick Coe Club Historian OUR STORY BEGINS – The first hundred years 1815 to 1915. “from the early years to the golden years” 1815 – The earliest reported game of cricket played by Earl Shilton It is hard to imagine what life must have been like back in 1815, but to get some idea of perspective, it was at the time of the Napoleonic War. (The Battle of Waterloo took place on 18th June 1815) At the beginning of the 1800’s there was only 249 inhabited houses in Earl Shilton, with a further 8 uninhabited. The population stood at 1287, 655 males and 632 females. Agriculture employed 118 villagers, while 716 were employed in trade and manufacture and showed the dramatic rise of stocking manufacture. This was a period in time that not many years before, saw the first street lit with gas in Pall Mall, London on 28th January 1807, so no doubt the streets of Earl Shilton would have been very dark for many years before that luxury arrived in the town. Stagecoaches passed frequently through the very poor rutted roads of the town, through Toll Gates at the bottom of Hill Top on the Leicester side and Belle Vue end of the town, it being on the route to Hinckley and Birmingham from Leicester. Coaches with the names Accommodation, Magnet and Alexander were all running during the next 15 years. Coaches stopped at a place near to the White House in Wood Street, beside the Lord Nelson Inn. In 1807 the ‘Slave Trade’ was finally abolished, and in Barwell a game of cricket was being played against Coventry and North Warwick which became the longest continuous fixture in the history of world cricket, and still played to this day.
