Leicestershire is a ceremonial county in East Midlands, England. It covers 2,156 sq km (832 sq mi) and has a population of 940,500 (2011 estimate). Leicestershire is bordered by Derbyshire tothe northwest, Nottinghamshire to the north, Lincolnshire to the northeast, Rutland to the east, Northamptonshire to the southeast and Warwickshire to the southwest. The traditional capital of Leicestershire is the city of Leicester. However, Leicester is now administered separately, and the county town for Leicestershire is today County Hall.

Leicestershire has a long tradition in metalworks, particularly in bellfounding, which goes back to as early as the 14th century. The largest bell in Britain, called the Great Paul, was cast in Leicestershire, and is now at St Paul's Cathedral in London.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
