The Bosworth constituency ‌is‌ ‌found‌ ‌in the west of Leicestershire, and to the west of Leicester itself. It is a largely rural seat which includes the small market towns of Hinckley, Earl Shilton and Market Bosworth. Historically this was a mining area, which was once represented by the Labour MP, boss of the Tote, and friend of the Queen Mother, Woodrow Wyatt. Since 1970 however, Bosworth has become a safe seat for the Conservatives.
