Coalville is an industrial town in the district of North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire in the East Midlands of England, with a population at the 2011 census of 34,575.[1][2] It lies on the A511 trunk road between Leicester and Burton upon Trent, close to junction 22 of the M1 motorway where the A511 meets the A50 between Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Leicester.

Rutland (/ˈrʌtlənd/) is a county in the East Midlands of England, bounded to the west and north by Leicestershire, to the northeast by Lincolnshire and the southeast by Northamptonshire.
Its greatest length north to south is only 18 miles (29 km) and its greatest breadth east to west is 17 miles (27 km). It is the smallest historic county in England and the fourth smallest in the UK as a whole. Because of this, the Latin motto Multum in Parvo or "much in little" was adopted by the county council in 1950.[2] It has the smallest population of any normal unitary authority in England. Among the current ceremonial counties, the Isle of Wight, City of London and City of Bristol are smaller in area. The former County of London, in existence 1889 to 1965, also had a smaller area. It is 323rd of the 326 districts in population.
The only towns in Rutland are Oakham, the county town, and Uppingham. At the centre of the county is Rutland Water, a large artificial reservoir that is an important nature reserve serving as an overwintering site for wildfowl and a breeding site for ospreys.
Rutland's older cottages are built from limestone or ironstone and many have roofs of Collyweston stone slate or thatch.
Even if you haven’t heard of Lutterworth, the chances are that you’ve enjoyed jetting off on a foreign holiday – an experience made possible by the pioneering work carried out here in south Leicestershire.
Wigston, or Wigston Magna, is a town in Leicestershire, England, just south of Leicester on the A5199. It had a population of 32,321 in 2011. Wigston is 3.63 miles (5.84 km) south of the city of Leicester, at the centre of Leicestershire and the East Midlands. Oadby is 1.33 miles (2.14 km) to the east, connected by the B582 road. To the west along the B582, or Blaby Road is South Wigston, (1.08 miles (1.74 km)). Wigston is the largest of Leicester's satellite towns.
The Grand Union Canal runs along a southern route below Wigston from Newton Harcourt 2.41 miles (3.88 km), Kilby Bridge 1.25 miles (2.01 km), and for several miles through South Wigston, Glen Parva 1.93 miles (3.11 km), Blaby 2.63 miles (4.23 km) and on towards Leicester.
Wigston's population of approximately 32,000 live in both the post-war private suburban housing estates surrounding the old town centre, and the 19th century buildings now sandwiched between modern housing developments. The oldest of the post-war developments is Wigston Fields north of Wigston towards Knighton and Leicester; the Meadows and Little Hill estates were developed in the 1970s and 1980s to the east and south of Wigston's old centre. Wigston Harcourt is an area of housing developed up until the early 1990s between the Little Hill and Meadows estates. These three estates mark the boundary of the greater Leicester urban area, beyond which lies agricultural land.
