Market Harborough is a market town within the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England. Market Harborough is the administrative headquarters of Harborough District Council. Market Harborough sits on the Northamptonshire-Leicestershire border. Market Harborough was formerly at a crossroads for both road and rail; however the A6 now bypasses the town to the east and the A14 which carries east-west traffic is 6 miles (9.7 km) to the south. The town is served by East Midlands Trains with direct services to Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Derby and St Pancras International. Rail services to Rugby and Peterborough ended in 1966.
Market Harborough is located in an area which was formerly a part of the Rockingham Forest, a royal hunting forest used by the medieval monarchs starting with William I. Rockingham Road takes its name from the forest. The forest's original boundaries stretched from Market Harborough through to Stamford and included the settlements at Corby, Kettering, Desborough, Rothwell, Thrapston and Oundle.
The centre of the town is dominated by the steeple of St. Dionysius Parish Church which rises directly from the street, as there is no church yard. It was constructed in grey stone in 1300 with the church itself a later building of about 1470. Next to the church stands the Old Grammar School, a small timber building dating from 1614. The ground floor is open, creating a covered market area and there is a single room on the first floor. It has become a symbol of the town. The nearby square is largely pedestrianised and surrounded by buildings of varying styles. The upper end of the High Street is wide and contains mostly unspoiled Georgian buildings.
Market Harborough has two villages within its confines: Great Bowden lies over a hill about a mile from the town centre; Little Bowden is less than half a mile from the town centre. The three centres have largely coalesced through ribbon development and infill, although Great Bowden continues to retain a strong village identity.
Market Harborough is in a rural part of south Leicestershire, on the River Welland and close to the Northamptonshire border. The town is about 15 miles (24.1 km) south of Leicester via the A6, 17 miles (27.4 km) north of Northampton via the A508 and 10 miles (16.1 km) north west of Kettering. The town is near the A14 road running from the M1/M6 motorway Catthorpe Interchange to Felixstowe. The M1 is about 11 miles (17.7 km) west via the A4304 road.
Three miles north west of the town is Foxton Locks – ten canal locks consisting of two staircases each of five locks, on the Leicester line of the Grand Union Canal. It is named after the nearby village of Foxton where there is one of a very few remaining road swing bridges over the canal.
Market Harborough station is on the Midland Main Line and operated by East Midlands Trains. London St Pancras International is 70 minutes south. Northbound trains operate to Leicester (15 minutes), Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds and York. Leicester connections east and west. From November 2007 St Pancras has Eurostar services to the continent.

Raunds Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Northamptonshire, and around 20 miles southwest of Peterborough, is the town of Raunds.
The recorded history of Raunds dates back to the 10th century. Its name is believed to have derived from the Anglo-Saxon word 'rand', meaning 'edge' or 'border'. At the heart of Raunds is St Peter's Church, which was built between the 12th and 14th centuries, and is Grade I listed.
For centuries, the main industry in Raunds was boot and shoemaking. In 1905, following a dispute over wages, bootmakers who provided footwear for the British Army went on strike. Since the end of the Second Boer War in 1902, demand for army boots had fallen, and with it came a drop in wages. After the strike of 1905 proved unsuccessful, a local councillor organised a march of 115 men representing a regular army unit to highlight the plight of the bootmakers. From Raunds they marched all the way to London where they were greeted by a crowd of around 10,000 at Hyde Park. On their return home, a crowd of around 5,000 turned up at The Square in Raunds - which was larger than the entire population of the town at the time.
The impact of the Raunds March remains a matter of debate. Negotiations between the War Office and the unions that followed resulted in the setting up of the Board of Conciliation and Arbitration, which helped reduce future price fluctuations. On the 100th anniversary of the march in 2005, a re-enactment took place featuring 115 locals dressed in the clothes of the time. This march, however, only got as far as the outskirts of Raunds.
Between 1866 and 1959, a railway station served Raunds. It was situated on the Kettering, Thrapston and Huntingdon Railway at around the midpoint between the western terminus at Kettering and the eastern terminus at Huntingdon. Today the main public transport connection to and from Raunds is a bus route between the town and Northampton.
Broadcaster David Frost spent part of his childhood in Raunds.

ENGLAND, River Nene, Pronounced 'Nen' or 'Neene'? Thrapston, Islip, Denford.
NEN or NEEN? I always thought that the River Nene was pronounced 'Nen' in most of Northamptonshire and 'Neen' over the border, in Cambridgeshire. Apparently, with more people from other regions moving into the area, that distinction has moved further west and the dividing line is now considered to be the river bridge between Thrapston and Islip, with 'Nen' being preferred on the Thrapston side and 'Neen' across the river, in Islip. Supposedly. To me, it's The 'Nen'. Always was, always will be.
