Beaumont Leys
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beaumont Leys is a large modern suburb of Leicester, England to the north-west of the city.
The area was largely developed from the 1970s onwards, and continues to expand into the surrounding countryside. It includes several large council estates, industrial areas (including the main factory for Walkers), and a large area of modern housing (some of it known as "Anstey Heights").
The Beaumont shopping centre is the main facility, being one of the largest shopping areas in the city suburbs, and a large leisure centre, church, library and police station are nearby. Smaller shopping precincts tend to be on the sites of the farms that were on the area before the housing was built.
