The 50-metre timeline revealing the heritage and history of Coalville was unveiled in the town centre in 2017 and attracts lots of interest. They are  downloadable here for everyone to enjoy. 

The timeline meanders through 200 years of the town’s history, and was installed to coincide with the launch of the 2017 Hello Heritage fortnight across the district, and remain as a record of the town's unique history for all to enjoy. 

The colourful display stretches along Hotel Street, and is the result of a partnership between North West Leicestershire District Council (NWLDC), the Coalville Heritage Society, and with kind permission from landowner Motors Coalville Ltd.

There are nineteen panels in all. They are available to view online below.
