Welcome to Anstey Local History Society

The society (ALHS) was formed in 2017 and our aims are:

  • To promote an interest in local history.
  • To collect recollections and preserve memories from the local community.
  • To encourage people to research and explore local history.
  • To give opportunities for people from diverse groups to meet socially.

We are excited to announce that the Anstey Trail project is progressing at pace, with five boards already installed around the village: the main heritage trails board outside Anstey Library, the boot and shoe trail board outside Potters Carpets, the sport and entertainment trail board in the Mitchells Field car park opposite Anstey Nomads football ground, the Bradgate Road and the Nook trail board outside Ulverscroft Books opposite the Crown Inn, and the Victorian Anstey trail board on Park Road.
