Frog Island, Leicester history


The island lies immediately to the south of Leicester Abbey, and historically was partly covered by the Abbey Meadows, which were too marshy for construction. In 1877, the meadows were drained and incorporated into Abbey Park. The purpose of the Leicester Navigation was to make the River Soar navigable to commercial traffic. Much of the island became highly industrialised in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
