Measham North sits on the north‑western edge of North West Leicestershire in Leicestershire, England, with the pleasant green corridors of the nearby Ashby Canal and the planting schemes of the National Forest close by. It neighbours former industrial towns such as Swadlincote and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, so the ward blends village‑scale streets with easy access to larger local centres and countryside walks along the canal towpath.
The area bears the imprint of a working‑class industrial past - coal, brick and local pottery were important employers - but today it feels more mixed, with commuters, independent shops, pubs and active community groups. You’ll notice reused industrial sites, modest terraced housing and occasional reminders of its manufacturing heritage alongside newer housing and leisure uses centred on the canal and community facilities.
