  • River Soar © Jiri Rezac 2015
    WaterLIFE DEMONSTRATION CATCHMENT FACTSHEET RIVER SOAR © JIRI REZAC 2015 The River Soar is the principle river in Leicestershire, covering a catchment area of approximately 1,380km2 and flowing through Leicester and Loughborough before confluencing with the River Trent. The catchment has a mix of urban and rural land uses, and is home to a wide range of species including the endangered white-clawed crayfish. The Soar Catchment Partnership was established in 2013 by Trent Rivers Trust and has grown considerably in size and strength under WaterLIFE. ISSUES IN THE SOAR Indicative of the industrial heritage of the area, many of the Soar’s watercourses have been modified, with the Grand Union Canal a predominant feature of the catchment. With increasing urbanisation, and due to the modified watercourses being over-wide, over-deep and separated from their flood plain, the Soar is prone to flooding. Soil erosion is also diminishing water quality and exacerbating flooding by blocking pipes and culverts. The sediment also carries particle pollutants such as phosphorus that trigger eutrophication and a further worsening of water quality. Currently, 87% of water bodies in the Soar catchment are failing to meet good ecological status. © JIRI REZAC 2015 RIVER SOAR CATCHMENT AREA © JIRI REZAC 2015 WHAT DID WATERLIFE DO? WHAT DID WATERLIFE ACHIEVE? WaterLIFE has supported Trent Rivers Trust to invest • Secured over £2 million in additional funding time, energy and resources to grow the Soar Catchment from a diverse range of sources. Partnership. A range of Partnership workshops and events were delivered: ranging from developing an agreed • Enabled local authority inputs to the stakeholder vision for the catchment, to investigating data Catchment Partnership, and additionally and evidence for the Catchment Plan.

  • The Legends, Folklore and Dialect of Leicestershire with an Introduction on the General History of the County
    THE LEGENDS, FOLKLORE AND DIALECT OF LEICESTERSHIRE WITH AN INTRODUCTION ON THE GENERAL HISTORY OF THE COUNTY BY LIEUT.-COL. R. E. MARTIN, C.M.G., D.L. Chairman of the Leicestershire County Council NOTE.—The following paper and the general introduction which precedes it are based upon two wireless talks delivered by the author, at the invitation of the British Broadcasting Corporation, in February, 1933. General Introduction THE county of Leicester is in almost all respects a typically English area, which may fairly be described as a microcosm or representative sample of our native country. Without engaging in any unbecoming dispute with our neigh­ bours in Warwickshire as to the precise position of the centre of England, a subject upon which they are generally credited with very decided views, we can, at all events, claim that Leicester­ shire occupies a very central position in the country. The back­ bone of England runs through it. The intersection of the two great Roman roads, the Watling Street and the Fosse, lies on its south-western boundary; and in its scenery and the elements which make up its country-side, its pursuits and the life of its people, most of the characteristics are to be found which we have in our minds when we speak of '' England ''. The scenery of the county, though constructed on a modest scale compared with that of some areas of the country, displays nevertheless a notable variety of character and landscape. The level ground of the valleys of the Soar and the Wreake and the rolling uplands of the southern and eastern parts of the county contrast sharply with the wholly different structure of the tract of country in the north-west, known as Charnwood Forest.

  • The River Wreake and Its Influence on Rearsby History the River Eye
    The River Wreake and its Influence on Rearsby History The River Eye rises at Bescaby on the fringe of the Vale of Belvoir near the Leicestershire/Lincolnshire border. The confluence of the River Eye, Thorpe Brook and Scalford Brook occurs at the eastern edge of Melton Mowbray close to Sysonby Lodge to become the River Wreake, which then flows from east to west through the centre of the town. The width of its floodplain varies from about 70 metres at Melton Mowbray to about 700 metres at Thrussington and towards Rearsby in the lower reaches. The total catchment area of the Rivers Wreake and Eye is over four hundred square kilometres. The catchment upstream of Melton is predominately rural with rolling open exposed ridges and valleys with sparse tree cover. Features such as ridge and furrow fields, hedge banks and enclosures indicate the historical development of the landscape. There are small settlements en route and scattered housing and farms. A flood storage reservoir is located on the Scalford Brook to the north of the town. Melton Mowbray became the Wreake basin's trading centre in Anglo-Saxon times. Its market probably pre-dates the Norman conquest and is one of the few listed in the Domesday Book (1086). Melton continued as the main trading centre in the area throughout the Middle Ages and up to the present day. The Wreake flows southwest through Leicestershire passing through Melton Mowbray, Asfordby, Frisby on the Wreake, Hoby, Brooksby, Thrussington, (where it is closest to Rearsby), and Ratcliffe on the Wreake to meet the a river Soar at Syston.
