  • Chapter 2 Demography
    Chapter 2 Demography Geographical context 2.1 Leicestershire is a landlocked county in central England. It takes its name from the heavily populated City of Leicester, traditionally its administrative centre, although the City of Leicester unitary authority is today administered separately from the County of Leicestershire. The county borders onto Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Rutland, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire. 2.2 Much of the built-up area of Leicester City is continuous with adjoining built-up areas of Leicestershire County surrounding it, especially in the districts of Oadby & Wigston and parts of Blaby, Charnwood and Harborough. The built-up area of Leicester is defined for Strategic Planning Policy and known as the Leicester & Leicestershire Principal Urban Area (PUA). The whole of Leicestershire has a strong relationship with Leicester for migration, labour market, regeneration, planning, services and healthcare facilities. Population Estimates 2.3 A broad figure for the current total resident population is about 950,000, or, in very broad terms, nearly a million. According to current Office of National Statistics (ONS) figures, the total population estimate for 2008 is 940,500 for the sub-region of Leicester and Leicestershire, with the local authorities of Leicester City at 294,7001 and the Leicestershire County area at 645,800 resident population. ONS mid- year estimates of resident population are based on counts from the last (2001) census and are updated annually using data on births and deaths occurrences and estimated migration. Figures for local authorities in the area, for selected years, are shown in Table 2.1. The ONS population and migration evidence (referred to as ‘current’) in this report, is as published before their revisions to migration estimates in mid 2010.

  • 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.
