Knighton is an area of Leicester , situated roughly between Clarendon Park to the north, Stoneygate and South Knighton to the east, Wigston to the south and Aylestone Park to the west. It is a mainly residential area, greatly expanded in the 1930s and 1940s with red-brick semi-detached houses. Two council wards exist: East and West Knighton, and they are the wealthiest council wards in the City of Leicester. According to the Leicester A to Z, Knighton is divided into Knighton, South Knighton, West Knighton, and Knighton Fields. Knighton Fields covers the area between Welford Road and Saffron Lane, and to the South Knighton Fields Road. West Knighton, Leicestershire is an area boundaried by Knighton Fields Road to the North, and Welford Road to the East, and Saffron Lane to the West. Please note that this area is very distinct from West Knighton Council Ward which encompasses both Knighton Fields and West Knighton. The area is fortunate enough to have easy access to Aylestone Park and Knighton Park as well. There are some excellent schools in this area, including Sir Jonathan North Girls School and Lancaster Boys School - both state schools. The old village centre of Knighton is a conservation area. {Link without Title} |
