description: DESCRIPTION ADDED THANKS TO GENERATIONS GONE BY Here is information about Sheet 156: One Inch Sheet 156 Leicester &amp; District 1906 - published 2003; intro by John Gough. ISBN.978-1-84151-590-8 This One Inch to the Mile map covers the east central area of Leicestershire, around and to the east of Leicester itself. Coverage stretches from Cropston and Narborough eastward to Belton in Rutland, and from Mountsorrel southward to Hallaton. Railways include the Great Central, the Tilton &amp; Leicester Branch, the GN &amp; LNW Joint Railway. Leicester is far and away the largest place on the map but there are many villages. On the back we include a detailed map of the centre of one of these, Sileby, complete with directory. It is not possible to list the many hamlets, farmsteads and other topographical features shown on these maps. However, you might find it useful if we here list the majority of the principal villages and church parishes that are included on this map. Links are given for those for which detailed large-scale maps are also available.
