More about Highfields Leicester
Highfields is an inner city area of Leicester,
England. As the name suggests, it is one of the highest
areas in the city, on a hill southeast of the city
centre. To the west the area is bounded by the Midland
Main Line, to the south by London Road, and to the east
by East Park Road. To the north is Spinney Hills, though
there is no clear boundary between the two areas, and
Spinney Hills (which extends northwards to Humberstone
Road) is often considered to be part of Highfields.
The area was developed between the late 19th Century and
the start of the First World War, and contains many fine
Victorian townhouses (now usually subdivided into
flats), as well as areas of redbrick terraced housing.
There are modern council estates to the east of
Leicester railway station, built during the 1960s on the
site of cleared slums, but for the most part the area
consists of privately owned and rented property, with
some housing association properties. The city's
workhouse was formerly situated in the area, on the site
now occupied by Moat Community College. The South
Highfields area, along London Road, constitutes a
Conservation Area.
Highfields has a large ethnic minority population, and
has traditionally been an area occupied by recent
immigrants to the city - Highfields contains Leicester's
synagogue, an African-Caribbean Centre, and many
mosques, madrassas and Islamic community centres. Many
recent Somali immigrants have settled in the area. The
annual Leicester Caribbean Carnival traditionally
parades through Highfields to the city centre and back
again, terminating at nearby Victoria Park.
Highfields has in the past been an area associated with
crime - it was known even prior to the Second World War
as the city's red light district however this is no
longer the case. In recent years some of the
establishments associated with criminal activity have
been closed, and the police have adopted a hardline
policy on properties used for the sale and consumption
of drugs, in collaboration with local residents'
associations. The area is now a safe place and crime has
been almost unheard of in recent years. The continual
improvement of the suburb has made it an area that
attracts many residents from other areas, however,
accommodation is not so easily available at any one time
due to high demand of residents (Mainly Asian origin)
waiting to move into the suburb. A new police station
has been built on the edge of Spinney Hill Park, to
replace a Victorian building in Asfordby Street.
A new community centre called the Highfields community
centre has been renewed and includes modern facilities
where many functions, ocassions and events take place
regularly.
The suburb is walking distance from the city centre of
Leicester, the railway station, many Mosques (the
biggest which includes a leisure centres within
grounds), Churches, Temples, a modern health centre
(Still under construction), Nurseries, schools and local
shops. As most necessities and leisures are within close
range, the area is regarded a very convenient place to
reside in.
You can see some photographs of the area (the health
centre has since been demolished and is being rebuilt)
