Geocache Description:

The start of this cache trilogy is an approximate 5-7 minute walk from the main train station in Leicester. You can complete this as a cache in it’s own right or, if you find all three caches you will be able to find the coordinates for the bonus cache ‘Victoria Race Park’ which is situated at the end of New Walk.

New Walk is a grade II listed conservation area. The walkway, home to a variety of wildlife, extends from the city centre right through to Victoria Park originally a race course. The second cache in this trilogy is situated within De Montfort Square. Within this green area you will find a statue of Robert Hall. Born at Arnesby in Leicestershire in 1764 Robert Hall went on to become a significant leader of the Baptist Church following in the footsteps of William Carey. Considered a fine preacher he fought for the freedom of the press and for the rights of workers to unite in trade unions to defend their interests.

An interesting quote about New Walk taken from "History in Leicester" by Colin D.B. Ellis M.C., M.A., F.S.A. (1948)

“Very early in the 18th century the Corporation had undertaken a rehousing scheme, ordering a number of houses belonging to the town to be pulled down and ‘convenient small tenements’ to be erected in their place, and it would be possible to make a quite imposing list of the public buildings that were put up. Almost all their work was superceded, demolished and forgotten when the next century made much broader schemes imperative, but one piece of their planning, the New Walk, or as some then called it Queens Walk, still earns the gratitude of pedestrians”
