About Fencing in Melton Mowbray
Melton Mowbray calls itself the rural capital of food, best known as the birthplace of the pork pie and a historic centre of Stilton cheese production, a pairing that goes back to the 1700s when surplus whey from local cheesemaking was used to fatten pigs. Only pies made within a designated zone around the town, using uncured pork, can legally carry the Melton Mowbray name, a status protected since 2008. The town centre retains a good market town character around its market place. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the LE13 postcode area.
