About

Market Harborough-Little Bowden ward encompasses the historic town centre and its immediate northern residential neighbourhoods, including the area around Little Bowden. The streets feature a mix of Georgian, Victorian, and more modern housing, with local shopping concentrated along the High Street and The Square. The canal basin of the Market Harborough arm of the Grand Union Canal sits near the town's core, providing a focal point for narrowboats and walkers.

The ward is defined by the Welland Valley, with the River Welland forming its northern boundary. This creates a distinct edge between the urban area and the open countryside of Northamptonshire. The Symington's building, a former corset factory with its distinctive clock tower, stands as a prominent local landmark repurposed for retail and residential use. Community life centres on the traditional street market held multiple days a week.
