Description

Charnwood was an electoral ward and administrative division of the city of Leicester, England. The population of the ward at the 2011 census was 13,291. It comprised the northern Leicester suburb of Northfields and its Tailby and Morton ex-council estates.GeographyCharnwood was bounded by the wards of Belgrave to the north-west, Rushey Mead to the north, Humberstone & Hamilton to the east, Coleman to the south, Spinney Hills to the south-west and Latimer to the west.To the west, the Midland Main Line separated it from Belgrave, and to the south the Uppingham Road separates it from Spinney Hills and North Evington. To the east it bordered Humberstone, and to the north borders the Troon Way industrial estate.HistoryNorthfields was named for one of three open fields that once nearly surrounded Leicester. The field was enclosed in 1764 and then used as residential building land 'in good time for the population increase' of the industrial revolution, meaning that Leicester was largely spared the overcrowding problems typical of industrialising towns of that time.
