About Rugby - show infohide info
Rugby is a town of approximately 62,700 inhabitants, situated in the county of Warwickshire, on the banks of the river Avon. The town is well known as the home of rugby football; legend states the game was invented in 1823 at Rugby School. Rugby is also home of the Jet Engine, invented by Frank Whittle in 1937. The town has existed since the early middle ages, and was given market town status in 1255. From then, until the 19th century, Rugby's population varies between 500 and 1000 inhabitants, but it was the 19th century when Rugby expanded into the town it is today, with the coming of the Oxford Canal, spurring industries. The Railways also came to Rugby in the 18th century, and Rugby became an important railway junction of 5 different railways, and almost every train between London and any point north of Rugby had to pass through the station, causing huge congestion, alleviated only when the Midland Main Line was built, giving an alternative route. A number of locomotive and wagon works sprang up around the town, and employed huge numbers of people from the town. The railways decline through the 20th century, and the Beeching cuts in the 1960's closed every rail line through Rugby except for the West Coast Main Line. Rugby today sees services between London and Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham, as well as some local services to Northampton. Today, Rugby is a busy town, with a number of facilities within its centre, including shopping centres, nightclubs, cinemas and bars. Nearby towns include Royal Leamington Spa, Coventry, Daventry, Northampton, Dunchurch, Southam and Bedworth.
