About

Coalville sits in North West Leicestershire as a town shaped by coal mining and its infrastructure. The urban area includes terraces and rows of former miners’ housing clustered near former pit sites, with spoil heaps and railway embankments still visible in the local landscape. Snibston Country Park occupies former colliery land and provides open space and traces of industrial archaeology from the 19th and 20th centuries. Local services centre on a market and retail streets, and light industry occupies estate areas on the town edge.

The town grew in the 1800s around Snibston Colliery and the line built to carry coal to Leicester, and that industrial origin remains in street patterns and surviving brickwork. Linear green corridors follow parts of the old railway and link housing areas to the park. Community facilities include sports grounds, civic buildings and small cultural venues that serve the wider Coalville area. Transportation is based on road routes through the town and on public bus links to neighbouring parts of Leicestershire.
