Angel Hotel (Market Harborough)
The Angel Hotel is a former coaching inn in the historic Leicestershire market town of Market Harborough.
Still operating as one of the town’s major hotels, with a good restaurant, the Angel has a Georgian frontage, but, like the well known Three Swans further down the street, has its origins two or three centuries earlier.
Market Harborough was an important staging post in the heyday of the stagecoach, being halfway between Leicester and Northampton. The Angel was the biggest of the several coaching inns. They claimed to have room for ninety pairs of horses.
The Angel is situated in the centre of the town, on the Western side of the High Street.
It is used as the starting point for some of Colin Crosby’s Guided Walks.
