Glenfield, Leicestershire, is a community that recorded a population of 9,643 in the 2011 Census. It is positioned directly to the west of Leicester and lies just off junction 21A. Historically, the area is linked to the Leicester and Swannington Railway (L&SR), one of England’s first railways, which was built to transport coal from West Leicestershire collieries to Leicester. The railway line opened in 1832 and featured a tunnel over a mile in length, two rope‑worked inclined planes, and locomotive‑operated sections that also carried passengers. This heritage indicates a long-standing industrial presence and a well‑established transport link within the region. The locality’s proximity to Leicester and its historical railway significance suggest a blend of residential convenience and industrial legacy.
