Loughborough is a town in Charnwood district, on the northern part of Leicestershire, England. With a population of 60,000 people (2012 estimate), it is the biggest town and second most populous settlement in Leicestershire after the city of Leicester.

Loughborough holds the distinction of being the destination of the world's first package tour, organized by Thomas Cook in 1841 for a group of 540 temperance campaigners in Leicester. The folks were going to Loughborough to hold a rally against alcohol.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
