Places to see in ( Coalville - UK )
Coalville is a town in North West Leicestershire, England. The population of coalville in the 2011 census is 34,575. It lies on the A511 trunk road between Leicester and Burton upon Trent, close to junction 22 of the M1 motorway where the A511 meets the A50 between Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Leicester. Coalville is the administrative seat of North West Leicestershire District Council and serves as a market town for the district. It borders the upland area of Charnwood Forest to the east of the town. Coalville is twinned with Romans-sur-Isère in southeastern France.
Coalville is a product of the Industrial Revolution. As its name indicates, it is a former coal mining town and was a centre of the coal-mining district of north Leicestershire. It has been suggested that the name may derive from the name of the house belonging to the founder of Whitwick Colliery: 'Coalville House'. However, conclusive evidence is a report in the Leicester Chronicle of 16 November 1833: 'Owing to the traffic which has been produced by the Railway and New Collieries on Whitwick Waste, land which 20 years ago would not have fetched £20 per acre, is now selling in lots at from £400 to £500 per acre, for building upon. The high chimneys, and numerous erections upon the spot, give the neighbourhood quite an improved appearance. We hear it is intended to call this new colony COALVILLE - an appropriate name.
The Leicester and Swannington Railway – Leicestershire's first railway – opened in 1832, reaching Coalville in 1833, and had a small station at Long Lane (now Ashby Road) in Coalville–-the first street in the town, which still has some of the original miners' cottages, which are next to the modern police station and opposite the sorting office. Snibston Colliery opened in 1833. The railway was extended to Burton upon Trent in 1845, placing Coalville on an important route between Burton and Leicester. Heavy coal traffic encouraged the construction of further railways linking Coalville to Nuneaton and, later, Loughborough, over the Charnwood Forest Railway.
There are a number of bus services that run through Coalville with the majority run by Arriva Midlands. From Coalville, buses run to Leicester, Loughborough, Burton-on-Trent, Hinckley and East Midlands Airport. The nearest passenger railway station is Loughborough, about eight miles northeast of Coalville. There have been calls to reinstate passenger services through the town on the Leicester to Burton upon Trent Line – however, following Leicestershire County Council's 2009 report citing construction costs of £50 million and a large operational subsidy, the scheme was dropped despite outcry from proponents.
Snibston Discovery Museum, was located off Ashby Road and was built on part of the site of the former Snibston Colliery. It featured interactive exhibits, an 0-4-0ST steam locomotive, a fashion gallery and more. The museum focused on technology and design and how it affects everyday life.
The Coalville and District Male Voice Choir was formed in 1944. Mrs Cynthia Moseley is only the fourth musical director in the choir's seventy-year history, having succeeded Aubrey Ward, Les Anderson and Harry Toon. The town is also home to the Broom Leys Choral Society. The town also has a tradition of brass band history and is home to the Desford Colliery Band, founded in 1898. Their club, known as 'The Brass House', is located on Albert Road.
Coalville has few listed buildings. The central core of the town is characterised by streets of homogeneous terraced housing, built toward the end of the nineteenth century and during the early part of the twentieth century, with detached housing concentrated on the London Road and Forest Road.

Goyt Valley walk 9: Burbage to Errwood Reservoir
It's late July in the Goyt Valley just north west of Buxton, and the sun has finally managed to break through the clouds. This eight-mile circular walk starts at Burbage, on the western edge of Buxton, passing along easy moorland paths to Errwood Reservoir in the wonderfully scenic Goyt Valley, before returning to the starting point on Bishop's Lane.
It's a fairly easy walk, with no steep slopes. But it can get muddy in places after rain, so walking boots are recommended.
This is the ninth in my series of walks around this part of the Goyt Valley. And the first in glorious high definition. It's also the first that starts and ends in Buxton, so there's no need to park in the Goyt. It's only a 15 minute stroll from the town centre to Burbage. And there's also a regular bus service which stops close to the start of the walk.
See the companion website at goyt-valley.org.uk for other walks, full directions, as well as photographs of Errwood Hall and the picturesque hamlet of Goystbridge.

Specialized Housing Units for Veterans in Prisons and Jails
Specialized Housing Units for Veterans in Prisons and Jails: Solution-Based Incarceration as the Counterpart to Problem-Solving Veterans' Courts
Conducted by the BJA Drug Court Technical Assistance Project at American University.
Presented by Major Evan Seamone, Professor of Law and Senior Defense Counsel in the U.S. Army Reserve, and Warden Randall Liberty, Warden of the Maine State Prison and Command Sergeant Major in the U.S. Army Reserve.
Within a few short years, numerous states and local jurisdictions have developed specialized housing units for veterans in prisons and jails. Whether they are called “Vet pods,” “Veterans Dorms,” “Veterans Blocks,” or other names, each of these programs has recognized various benefits by placing incarcerated veterans in a dedicated area of a given correctional institution. Correctional administrators and sheriffs note how groups of veterans often watch out for one another similar to the way they did when they adorned the uniform, encourage one another to focus on the future in a positive light, help each other work through shared symptoms of service-related mental health conditions, and enable community and governmental organizations to offer targeted services to in an expedient manner. Beyond this, many deputies and correctional officers who work in veterans’ dorms observe how veterans are safer to oversee and more polite and respectful than inmates and detainees without military service.
While veterans’ dorms may be beneficial in prisons and jails, these close cousins of fatherhood dorms for incarcerated fathers and faith-based dorms for inmates of a particular faith denomination are relatively new and vary based upon the objectives of their founders. While sheriffs, often with prior military service, have been able to develop these programs in a more independent manner, some large prison systems, such as the Florida Department of Corrections and New York’s Department of Correctional Services have implemented standardized programs across their vast systems.
This webinar addresses the different forms of veterans housing units that have been implemented in prisons and jails. It traces the initial concept to its origins in the 1920s following WWI, through programs implemented in the wake of WWII and Vietnam, to the contemporary approach. This webinar also identifies the manner in which some correctional institutions have implemented these units to mitigate the high likelihood that incarceration might activate a “second tour” in which veterans can unwittingly approach their time in confinement like time deployed in enemy territory.
For all participants, the webinar considers the universal benefits of the program, including relatively minor costs, the value of deputies and correctional officers with prior military experience, and the inspirational value of military-themed housing areas. Because the Department of Veterans Affairs prohibits the delivery of any healthcare services to incarcerated veterans, participants also will gain an understanding of special considerations for veterans with mental health needs and inherent limitations on treatment approaches during short-term incarceration.
