Highfields, Inner suburb in Leicester, England
Located southeast of Leicester's center, Highfields extends between the Midland Main Line, London Road, East Park Road, and Spinney Hills district.
During the early 1800s, this area transformed from rural fields with windmills into a residential neighborhood, reaching 15,000 inhabitants by 1881.
The neighborhood represents twenty-five nationalities, with multiple religious buildings including mosques, churches, temples, and a synagogue serving different communities.
The South Highfields Conservation Area, established in 1981, covers 20.55 hectares and maintains architectural standards for property modifications.
The African Caribbean Centre and Highfields Youth Centre provide specialized programming for local residents, promoting community engagement since 1974.
