Nuneaton's origins go back to the 12th century, when a small hamlet grew around a Benedictine nunnery, parts of which still survive. In its very early days it was called Etone, or 'water town', after the River Anker which flows through it. A regular market was established in 1233. Steady growth meant that by the early years of the 19th century Nuneaton was one of the largest towns in Warwickshire, making its money from coal, brickmaking, brewing and textiles.
Modern Nuneaton still holds its Wednesday street market, but today's shopping facilities have expanded to include The Ropewalk, an indoor complex with a wide range of major retailers such as BHS, HMV and many fashion outlets. In the town centre, there is a good and varied selection of shops, bars, restaurants and other amenities such as banks and supermarkets. Within a mile or so of Higham Place there are several coffee shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as two GP surgeries, a chemist and the George Eliot Hospital, named after the novelist who is the town's most celebrated former resident and wrote such classics as Middlemarch.
An excellent place for families
A large part of the town centre had to be rebuilt following World War ll, with the result that Nuneaton now boasts a museum and arts centre in the beautiful setting of Riversley Park. There are three galleries where you can see exhibitions on fine art, local history and the life of George Eliot. Many of these events are 'hands-on', making the museum an ideal family attraction.
There is a current trend for families to move to this part of Nuneaton due to the reputation of its schools. They include Higham Lane School for the 11-16 age group, and St Nicholas C of E Primary School: both achieving very good results.
