Leicester City Centre history
The old city
The historic city of Leicester was founded by the Romans as Ratae Corieltauvorum. It is thought that the later medieval walls and gates were in approximately the same positions as the Roman ones. Leicester Castle lay on the south-western corner of the walls, and the Newarke was a separate walled area nearby. The town’s main gates were sold and demolished in the late 18th century.
Modern developments
With increasing development, the focal point moved eastwards, with the Haymarket Memorial Clock Tower roundabout seeing the five-way junction of the London to Manchester, Birmingham to Yarmouth and Fosse Way roads. Much of this old area of town is now in various conservation areas. Outside of the ringroad, but close by, are the main campus of De Montfort University, Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leicester City Football Club’s King Power Stadium, the Leicester Tigers’ Welford Road stadium and the prison. The University of Leicester is further away to the south, linked by the pedestrian-only path New Walk.
