Belgrave, Leicestershire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Belgrave is an area in northern Leicester, England. The old Belgrave Village is on the Loughborough Road, to the west of the A46, known at that point as 'Melton Road'.
The term was used for the large 19th century terraced developments along the A46 (Belgrave Road and then Melton Road). This area now has a large, vibrant Asian community featuring the Golden Mile: a string of specialist Asian stores reputed to sell more gold than any singular region in Britain. It is bounded to the south by Leicester City Centre, to the west by the River Soar and to the east by the Midland Main Line.
The Belgrave Hall area is a conservation area. [1]
