  • Shackerstone
    Shackerstone Conservation Area Appraisal The early history of the village is uncertain and first reference to the settlement appeared in the Doomsday Book of 1086 when reference was made to “Sacrestone” which means town of robbers. After the Norman Conquest when the Saxon estates were handed over to the Norman overlords, a 12th century castle was built to the north of Station Road, the earthworks of which are still visible. In the Elizabethan era the Halls were the prominent family in the village. They occupied Shackerstone Hall next to the church for over 200 years from around 1630 until they emigrated to Australia in 1829 after selling the estate to Lord Howe. The Hall burned down in 1845 and was replaced by the Gopsall estate workers cottage on Church Walk. At that time, the village was a successful self supporting community and had four farms, two pubs two shops, a bakery, a builder, a carpenter, brickworks, a post office, a coal merchant, a dressmaker, a shoemaker and a blacksmith. It also was the home for a large coach building business until 1935 run by the Insley family which provided employment for a coachbuilder, a wheelwright and up to 30 other people. The coach works supplied wagons and wheelbarrows throughout the country. The farms included Bridge Farm which also housed the village bakery, Church Farm, Arnold Farm and Cattows Farm. To support the 300 residents in the village Earl Howe funded the construction of the village school and school house in 1844. The school closed in the 1930’s and the school house is now the Village Hall.

    HS2 Ltd ‘2018 Working Draft Environmental Statement’ Consultation Response of Leicestershire County Council December 2018 Structure of this response This Response to the HS2 Ltd Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) by is split into four parts. These are as follows: PART 1: Document Introduction and Main areas of Concern PART 2: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Community Areas LA03, LA04 and LA05 PART 3: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Route-wide Effects PART 4: Response to WDES Vol 3 – Off-route Effects PART 5: Appendices For any enquires about this response, please contact: [email protected] 1 | Page PART 1: Document Introduction and Maim areas of Concern i) This document and its appendices comprise Leicestershire County Council’s (the Council’s) response to the Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) for HS2 Phase 2b (the proposed scheme). We issue this response in the spirit of contributing to the processes surrounding this vast infrastructure project, but must include the caveat that the Council can only respond to the material to hand and further intensive work with HS2 Ltd is required to fully understand the impacts for Leicestershire and the most appropriate mitigation. ii) The Council recognises that the WDES is a draft document. However, it is disappointing that even in draft; there is a distinct lack of information provided in sections of the WDES, especially regarding the proposed scheme’s constructional and operational impacts and in respect of its design. But, the Council have determined to use this as an opportunity to shape the design and mitigation across the County. Where clear mitigation is not yet defined, the Council will seek to secure assurances from HS2 Ltd that further work will be carried out to inform the preparation of the Hybrid Bill, including HS2 Ltd preparing an Interim Transport Assessment (including sensitivity testing), and during the Parliamentary processes.

The Fair……………………………………………………………………….14 5. Communities in Charnwood………………………………………………..17 1. Loughborough – a brief history History of the town The name of Loughborough derives from the Anglo Saxon word burgh meaning a town, and, probably, a personal name which became Lough. Loughborough is an ancient town situated in the heart of the Borough of Charnwood, very close to the Charnwood Forest, which includes Bradgate Park, Beacon Hill and Swithland Woods. In close proximity are extremely attractive villages such as Newtown Linford, Quorn, and Woodhouse Eaves. The primitive settlers who first came here were attracted to this spot by a number of natural features. The River Soar led directly to the Trent Valley, forming a natural means of communication between the north and south, and to the east and west of the fertile Soar Valley the land was relatively poor and unproductive. When the Romans came they took over this settlement of the Britons, or at least, certain evidence points towards that being the case. In the grounds of Mount St Bernard's Abbey, which is about seven miles away, an urn filled with Roman coins was found. Some were dated the year 244 and so substantiated the theory that the Romans occupied this area during the third century. In the Domesday survey of 1086 Loughborough appeared as Lucteburne. William the Conqueror had assigned the manor, together with a good deal of the land, to his nephew, Hugh Lupus, who later became Earl of Chester.
