Location

Syston is a town in a region known as the East Midlands, in the county of Leicestershire. The Midlands are essentially central to everything in England: Airports, motorways and train stations are easily accessible. For example, the East Midlands airport is only 20 miles away, London is approximately 107 miles away and it is possible to visit the seaside for a day trip! The M1, M69 and M6 maximise the potential for travel by road from this central location. The villages of Thurmaston, Birstall, Wanlip and Thurcaston are close by. Syston is well served by several bus companies and is one of many settlements in the Wreake valley between Leicester and Melton. It lies just north of Barkby Brook and close to the confluence of the Rivers Wreake and Soar. The Fosse Way – an old Roman highway – is half a mile to the west. Situated five miles north-east of Leicester city centre, with an LE7 postcode, Syston is in the civil parish of Charnwood and due to its popularity and subsequent growth, officially changed from being a village in 1987. To retain its cultural assets, a conservation area of special architectural and historical interest was designated around the core of the original settlement area to preserve Syston’s character and appearance. The original settlement is believed to be Anglo-Saxon due to the nucleated shape of the village around the Anglican Church, (St Peter’s is Grade I listed), the pattern of streets and the inclusion of the village green which is still present on High Street. The conservation area includes the historical buildings on either side of High Street, bounded by Melton Road, Grade II listed.
In the 1086 Domesday survey there were 30 people living in Syston or Sitestone, as it was identified then, and the area had a priest in attendance and a working mill. The light sandy soil allowed farming to flourish and an open field system plus large areas of meadow and communal grazing on Great Moor, to the north-east of the village, was the main occupation until the arable land became more profitable to be used as pasture for livestock, which was then sold in markets held locally in such places as Leicester. By the late seventeenth century the population in Syston had grown and continued to increase as the Soar Navigation canal opened in 1792 and then the railway line and station in 1840.
Today, the town continues to thrive and offer its residents an array of amenities with national chains and many independent traders creating a bespoke retail community. It can also boast many eateries and public houses. The Syston & District Social Club was featured in the 2019 camra Good Beer Guide while there are many others like the Dog and Gun, the Gate Hangs Well and the Beer Pharmacie. The Continental Café, Occasions Rea Room or Hobby Horse Farmhouse are among establishments providing non-alcoholic treats while an array of international restaurants provide a wonderful selection of food.
Syston’s town council operates from the community centre and looks after parks, football pitches, a sports pavilion, a skate park and bmx track to name but a few. Contains a wealth of information about services, community news and national events. In 2019 the council was awarded a silver medal in the East Midlands in Bloom competition. Syston offers medical services: The Jubilee Medical Practice and Syston Health Centre. There are several dental practices in the vicinity too. The Post Office is located on High Street and the library is near to the local primary school, St Peter and St Paul’s Church of England Academy. There are a number of additional educational facilities in the area offering provision for all ages including Eastfield Academy and Wreake Valley.
