About Fencing in Leicester
Leicester made international headlines in 2012 when archaeologists discovered the remains of King Richard III beneath a city centre car park, on the site of the former Grey Friars church where he had been buried after his death at Bosworth Field in 1485, with the remains identified within hours of digging and later reburied at Leicester Cathedral in 2015. The city has a history stretching back to Roman times, seen today in the remains of the Jewry Wall. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the LE1 postcode area.
