About

Birstall Central sits at the heart of Birstall in the borough of Charnwood, centred on the High Street and village green. The area contains shops, cafes, a post office, and the parish church close to the library and community centre. Rows of terraced houses and short residential streets step back from the main road. Local pubs and small businesses occupy converted buildings on the High Street, while the village war memorial stands near the green, offering a visible local reference point for community events and Remembrance services.

Public transport runs along the main road with regular bus services linking the centre to other parts of Charnwood. A recreation ground and play area are within walking distance, used by sports clubs and families. Market stalls and charity events appear periodically on the green and outside the library.
