Hinckley, Market town in Leicestershire, England
Hinckley stands at the crossroads between Leicester and Coventry, featuring a central market square and numerous commercial establishments across its 30-hectare expanse.
The settlement appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as a substantial village, later developing into a market town with the first recorded market in 1311.
The Concordia Theatre presents regular performances throughout the year, while the town maintains its market traditions dating back more than seven centuries.
The town connects to major cities through the M1, M6, M69, and M42 motorways, with regular bus services operated by Arriva Midlands throughout the region.
The town earned recognition for producing the second-largest output of stockings in Britain during the nineteenth century industrial revolution period.
