Market Harborough is a market town within the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England. Market Harborough is the administrative headquarters of Harborough District Council. Market Harborough sits on the Northamptonshire-Leicestershire border. Market Harborough was formerly at a crossroads for both road and rail; however the A6 now bypasses the town to the east and the A14 which carries east-west traffic is 6 miles (9.7 km) to the south. The town is served by East Midlands Trains with direct services to Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Derby and St Pancras International. Rail services to Rugby and Peterborough ended in 1966.
Market Harborough is located in an area which was formerly a part of the Rockingham Forest, a royal hunting forest used by the medieval monarchs starting with William I. Rockingham Road takes its name from the forest. The forest's original boundaries stretched from Market Harborough through to Stamford and included the settlements at Corby, Kettering, Desborough, Rothwell, Thrapston and Oundle.
The centre of the town is dominated by the steeple of St. Dionysius Parish Church which rises directly from the street, as there is no church yard. It was constructed in grey stone in 1300 with the church itself a later building of about 1470. Next to the church stands the Old Grammar School, a small timber building dating from 1614. The ground floor is open, creating a covered market area and there is a single room on the first floor. It has become a symbol of the town. The nearby square is largely pedestrianised and surrounded by buildings of varying styles. The upper end of the High Street is wide and contains mostly unspoiled Georgian buildings.
Market Harborough has two villages within its confines: Great Bowden lies over a hill about a mile from the town centre; Little Bowden is less than half a mile from the town centre. The three centres have largely coalesced through ribbon development and infill, although Great Bowden continues to retain a strong village identity.
Market Harborough is in a rural part of south Leicestershire, on the River Welland and close to the Northamptonshire border. The town is about 15 miles (24.1 km) south of Leicester via the A6, 17 miles (27.4 km) north of Northampton via the A508 and 10 miles (16.1 km) north west of Kettering. The town is near the A14 road running from the M1/M6 motorway Catthorpe Interchange to Felixstowe. The M1 is about 11 miles (17.7 km) west via the A4304 road.
Three miles north west of the town is Foxton Locks – ten canal locks consisting of two staircases each of five locks, on the Leicester line of the Grand Union Canal. It is named after the nearby village of Foxton where there is one of a very few remaining road swing bridges over the canal.
Market Harborough station is on the Midland Main Line and operated by East Midlands Trains. London St Pancras International is 70 minutes south. Northbound trains operate to Leicester (15 minutes), Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds and York. Leicester connections east and west. From November 2007 St Pancras has Eurostar services to the continent.

Raunds Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Northamptonshire, and around 20 miles southwest of Peterborough, is the town of Raunds.
The recorded history of Raunds dates back to the 10th century. Its name is believed to have derived from the Anglo-Saxon word 'rand', meaning 'edge' or 'border'. At the heart of Raunds is St Peter's Church, which was built between the 12th and 14th centuries, and is Grade I listed.
For centuries, the main industry in Raunds was boot and shoemaking. In 1905, following a dispute over wages, bootmakers who provided footwear for the British Army went on strike. Since the end of the Second Boer War in 1902, demand for army boots had fallen, and with it came a drop in wages. After the strike of 1905 proved unsuccessful, a local councillor organised a march of 115 men representing a regular army unit to highlight the plight of the bootmakers. From Raunds they marched all the way to London where they were greeted by a crowd of around 10,000 at Hyde Park. On their return home, a crowd of around 5,000 turned up at The Square in Raunds - which was larger than the entire population of the town at the time.
The impact of the Raunds March remains a matter of debate. Negotiations between the War Office and the unions that followed resulted in the setting up of the Board of Conciliation and Arbitration, which helped reduce future price fluctuations. On the 100th anniversary of the march in 2005, a re-enactment took place featuring 115 locals dressed in the clothes of the time. This march, however, only got as far as the outskirts of Raunds.
Between 1866 and 1959, a railway station served Raunds. It was situated on the Kettering, Thrapston and Huntingdon Railway at around the midpoint between the western terminus at Kettering and the eastern terminus at Huntingdon. Today the main public transport connection to and from Raunds is a bus route between the town and Northampton.
Broadcaster David Frost spent part of his childhood in Raunds.

map of East Midlands England
The East Midlands is one of nine official regions of England at the first level of ITL for statistical purposes. It consists of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire (except North and North East Lincolnshire), Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland. The region has an area of 15,627 km2 (6,034 sq mi), with a population over 4.5 million in 2011. The most populous settlements in the region are Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Mansfield, Northampton and Nottingham. Other notable settlements include Boston, Chesterfield, Corby, Grantham, Hinckley, Kettering, Loughborough, Newark-on-Trent, Skegness, Wellingborough, and Worksop.
Relative proximity to both London and the Northern Powerhouse cities, as well as its position on the national motorway and trunk road networks help the East Midlands to thrive as an economic hub.
With a sufficiency-level world city ranking, Nottingham is the only settlement in the region to be classified by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network.
The region is primarily served by East Midlands Airport, which lies between Derby, Leicester and Nottingham. The highest point at 636 m (2,087 ft) is Kinder Scout, in the Peak District of the southern Pennines in northwest Derbyshire near Glossop. Other hilly areas of 95 to 280 m (312 to 919 ft) in altitude, together with lakes and reservoirs, rise in and around the Charnwood Forest north of Peterborough, Leicester, and in the Lincolnshire Wolds.[citation needed]
The region's major rivers, the Nene, the Soar, the Trent, and the Welland, flow in a northeasterly direction towards the Humber and the Wash. The Derwent, conversely, rises in the High Peak before flowing south to join the Trent some 2 miles (3 km) before its conflux with the Soar,[citation needed] and the Witham flows in an arch, first north to Lincoln before heading south to the Wash.

The centre of the East Midlands area lies roughly between Bingham, Nottinghamshire and Bottesford, Leicestershire. The geographical centre of England lies in Higham on the Hill in west Leicestershire, close to the boundary between the Leicestershire and Warwickshire. Some 88 per cent of the land is rural in character, although agriculture accounts for less than three per cent of the region's jobs.[citation needed]
Lincolnshire is the only maritime county of the six, with a true North Sea coastline of about 30 miles (48 km) due to the protection afforded by Spurn Head and the North Norfolk foreshore.[citation needed] Church Flatts Farm in Coton in the Elms, South Derbyshire, is the furthest place from the sea in the UK (70 miles, 110 km). In April 1936 the first Ordnance Survey trig point was sited at Northamptonshire Cold Ashby in Peterborough The Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts and The Wildlife Trusts are based next to the River Trent and Newark Castle railway station. The National Centre for Earth Observation is at the University of Leicester.
Geology
The region is home to large quantities of limestone, and the East Midlands Oil Province. Charnwood Forest is noted for its abundant levels of volcanic rock, estimated to be approximately 600 million years old.[3]
A quarter of the UK's cement is manufactured in the region, at three sites in Hope and Tunstead in Derbyshire, and Ketton Cement Works in Rutland.[4] Of the aggregates produced in the region, 25 per cent are from Derbyshire and four per cent from Leicestershire. Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire each produce around 30 per cent of the region's sand and gravel output.[5]
Barwell in Leicestershire was the site of Britain's largest meteorite (7 kg, 15 lb) on 24 December 1965. The 2008 Lincolnshire earthquake was 5.2 in magnitude.

ENGLAND, River Nene, Pronounced 'Nen' or 'Neene'? Thrapston, Islip, Denford.
NEN or NEEN? I always thought that the River Nene was pronounced 'Nen' in most of Northamptonshire and 'Neen' over the border, in Cambridgeshire. Apparently, with more people from other regions moving into the area, that distinction has moved further west and the dividing line is now considered to be the river bridge between Thrapston and Islip, with 'Nen' being preferred on the Thrapston side and 'Neen' across the river, in Islip. Supposedly. To me, it's The 'Nen'. Always was, always will be.
