Leek — A Diverse Town Connected To The Car Industry, Finance Industry and Motorsport

Leek is a market town located in Staffordshire, England. It is nestled in the Churnet Valley, an area of outstanding natural beauty, and is considered the home of Britain's largest carpet industry.

History

Leek dates back to the 11th century, when a ridge of hills known as 'the Scot's Law' were settled by the Scots. The wealth of the area due to the coal, lead and iron industry brought significant development throughout the 18th century. Many mills and factories were built, including wool and cotton mills. In 1865, the North Staffordshire Railway connected Leek to the rest of the country via Stoke on Trent.

Demographics

Leek has a population of approximately 18,800 according to the 2011 Census, with a median age of 48 years. The majority of the population is comprised of people aged in the 25-34 age range. The majority ethnicity across the population is White British, but there is also a diverse range of ethnic minorities including Asians, Caribbean and African-Caribbean people.

Car Industry

Leek is home to one of Britain's major car manufacturers, Morgan Motor Company. Founded by Harold Morgan in 1909, the company produces classic, traditional sports cars and has been making the iconic handbuilt four-wheeler for more than a century. The company continues to use the traditional hand-building process, which takes around 650 hours to assemble, making it one of the last car factories in the world to use such traditional craftsmanship.

Finance and Banking

Leek is also home to a number of finance and banking companies, including Yorkshire Building Society, NatWest and Barclays. The building society is based on the high street and serves customers, offering mortgages and savings accounts. NatWest is also on the high street and provides banking services to the local community. Barclays Bank is located in the town centre and offers retail banking and a range of other services to local customers.

Motorsports

Leek has connections to motorsports, most notably the famous Leek Aintree Circuit. This yearly race, which is broadcasted on ITV4 and takes drivers on a 1.65 mile loop, has been held since 1935. The circuit is renowned for its mix of difficult and easy corners, which make it a challenge for drivers. The track has seen some famous names grace it over the years, including Sir Stirling Moss and Tony Hancock. It is also home to the Staffordshire Racing and Motorcycle Club, which hold regular meetings on the track.

In addition to the Aintree circuit, Leek is also home to a number of other motorsports venues, including the Staffordshire Raceway, which holds car and supermoto races, as well as a range of car clubs such as the North West Automobile Club and the Leek and District Classic Car Club.
