Ashby de la Zouch Walk: Town Centre【4K】

Located in the county of Leicestershire, and around 15 miles south of Derby, is the town of Ashby de la Zouch. The town's distinctive name means 'ash tree farm/settlement', with the 'de la Zouch' suffix added in 1160 when Norman nobleman Alain de Parrhoet La Zouch inherited his position as Lord of the Manor by marriage. Locally, it is commonly referred to as, simply, Ashby. In the late 15th century Edward IV granted Ashby Manor to William, Lord Hastings, who converted it into a castle and also rebuilt St Helen's Church nearby in the Perpendicular Gothic style. The church would later be enlarged in the late 19th century. During the English Civil War Ashby de la Zouch Castle was occupied by a Royalist garrison. The castle was surrendered to the Parliamentarians in 1646 following a year-long siege, and later slighted to prevent further use. The castle would later be referenced in Walter Scott's historical novel Ivanhoe from the early 19th century. Historically, skilled craftsmen including silversmiths, swordsmiths and clock makers operated in the vicinity of Market Street. From the early 19th century Ashby de la Zouch became a spa town following the discovery of water with medicinal properties in the mining village of Moira nearby. The Ivanhoe Baths were built in 1822, followed by the adjacent Hastings Hotel in 1827 (now Royal Hotel). The baths would eventually close in 1884 due to falling visitor numbers, apparently caused by a surge in popularity of seaside resorts. In 1849 a railway station opened in Ashby de la Zouch. This formed part of the Midland Railway's line between Leicester and Burton-on-Trent. However, in 1964 the station was closed as part of the notorious Beeching cuts, along with over 2000 other stations across the country in an effort to encourage motorway travel. Today the nearest railway station is Burton-on-Trent. Direct bus services from Leicester, Coalville and Swadlincote, among other locations, are available. 👇 SUBSCRIBE TO 4K EXPLORER FOR NEW VIDEOS EVERY WEEK 👇 https://www.youtube.com/4KExplorer?su...
