    Ashby Canal Restoration Snarestone to Measham BUSINESS PLAN SUMMARY Leicestershire County Council Community Services Department May 2006 The Ashby Canal Restoration Project This project is to restore the Ashby Canal from its current terminus at Snarestone northwards for a distance of 4.5 km to a new canal wharf at Measham (Map 1). The power to acquire the necessary land and to construct and maintain the canal was provided in October 2005 when the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs confirmed the Leicestershire County Council (Ashby de la Zouch Extension) Order made under the powers of the Transport and Works Act 1992. In making the Order the Secretary of State noted that the scheme is consistent with national, regional and local policies, would contribute significantly to regeneration objectives and would produce considerable economic, environmental and social benefits. History The Ashby Canal was completed in 1804 and connected Moira in north western Leicestershire to the Coventry Canal at Bedworth. It was used primarily to carry coal from the Ashby Woulds mines to markets in the Midlands and the South. The northern reaches of the canal were closed between 1944 and 1966 due to mining subsidence but in recent years the feasibility of restoration has been established and is strongly supported by local communities as a means of regeneration. The project will follow on from the successful restoration (1999 – 2005) of over 2km of the Ashby Canal between Donisthorpe and Moira at ‘The Heart of the National Forest’. This award-winning length hosts the annual Moira Canal Festival, and in conjunction Left: Moira Furnace before restoration The proposed canal - Measham Station (c1950) Below: Moira Furnace after restoration (May 2006) 2 3 with the adjacent Moira Furnace Museum and Conkers (the National Forest Discovery Centre) is a popular leisure destination throughout the year.

  • The Manors of Allexton, Appleby and Ashby Folville
    The Manors of Allexton, Appleby and Ashby Folville. BY GEORGE FARNHAM, M.A., F.S.A., AND A. HAMILTON THOMPSON, M.A., F.S.A. PREFACE. Since the appearance of Nichols' History of Leicestershire, pub­ lished between 1795 and 1815, the materials for original work upon local history and topography have been considerably extended, and many classes of documents are now available for research which serve at once to supplement and correct the information contained in the older county histories.. While Nichols' famous volumes must always remain the foundation for any future work upon the history of Leicestershire, the student who knows how to make use of them finds that their statements constantly stand in need of verification and that their accuracy is seriously impaired by their author's partial and arbitrary use of his documents. For some time past the present writers have entertained the idea of bringing together the results of their several collections of material illus­ trating the manorial and ecclesiastical annals of the county, and it will be found that the notes which follow in the form of con­ nected narratives endeavour to fill up gaps in the story of the three places concerned and to present in consecutive order information which hitherto has been treated merely in outline or overlooked altogether. For the chief part of the work, tracing the descent of the manors, and for the pedigrees Mr. Farnham is responsible. The notes upon advowsons and the lists of incumbents, which con­ siderably amplify Nichols' imperfect and carelessly compiled lists, are supplied by his collaborator.

  • The Listed Buildings of North West Leicestershire
    THE LISTED BUILDINGS OF NORTH WEST LEICESTERSHIRE LISTED BUILDINGS The statutory list of buildings of architectural or historic interest for the District comprises five volumes (or 'Greenbacks') which were published on the following dates:- 13th List - 29 September 1977 28th List - 1 September 1983 29th List - 31 October 1983 31st List - 20 December 1983 40th List - 16 January 1989 This gazetteer lists the listed buildings within the District by settlement and parish. Unless otherwise stated the buildings are Grade II listed. It should be noted that some changes have been made to the lists following their original publication and a number of buildings have been added to the statutory lists (ie 'spot listed'), some have been upgraded in status to Grade II* from Grade II, and two buildings; the lodge to Rotherwood, Tamworth Road, Ashby de la Zouch and the Wall and Gates at the former Railway Station, Station Road, Ashby de la Zouch; have been removed altogether from the list (A summary of all alterations to the statutory list, and the date of the last update of this document, are contained in the Appendix at the end of this index). It should be noted that some names and/or numbers of properties included on the List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest have been altered since the publication of the lists. Where the District Council has been made aware of such occurrences these are identified in bold following the relevant list entry in the index. Further, it should be noted in some cases properties have been sub-divided and have accordingly acquired new names/numbers and that some properties (NOT included themselves within the index) may have listed status as a result of being - or having been - within the curtilage of a principal listed building at the time of a listing.
