Leicester
is an historical city which values its past,
evidenced by its numerous museums and old
buildings. The city's roots can be traced
to Roman times. Artifacts unearthed at sites
in and around the city can be found at the
Jewry Wall Museum named after the only remaining
wall of the Roman town.
19th century expansion fueled by the Industrial
Revolution spurred the growth of Leicester
as much as the coming of the railway that
tied the city to the Leicester coalfields.
Hosery and footwear were the industries that
came to be associated with early industrial
Leicester and they are still there, but modern
Leicester is driven more by engineering enterprises.
There is much to see in Leicester
including Leicester Castle, a Saxon structure
rebuilt
by Normans in 1068. There is also the medieval
Guildhall, 18th century Belgrave Hall and
Georgian town houses. Museums include the
Melton Carnegie Museum, Newarke Houses Museums,
Museum of Technology, Museum & Art Gallery
and the Wygston's House Musuem of Costume
and the Regiment Musuem.
