About Bingham
Bingham is a prosperous market town in the Rushcliffe borough of Nottinghamshire, England, five miles from our private primary school. With a population of around 9,000 people it lies about nine miles east of Nottingham, a similar distance south of Newark-on-Trent and west of Grantham. It is situated where the A46 (the old Fosse Way) intersects the A52. Every Thursday Bingham holds a market in the centre of the town, there is also a Farmers' market on the first Saturday of each month held in the Market Place.
Bingham is largely a dormitory town to Nottingham, however it does retain its own distinct character and there is some employment in the town consisting of approximately 20 industrial units each employing at least 10 people, plus numerous other offices and shops in the area. Bingham also provides shopping, medical and other services to those living in the surrounding villages.
Trent Barton provide frequent and well used public bus service into Nottingham for commuters, shoppers and nightlife. Bingham also has its own railway station which provides a less frequent service to Nottingham, Grantham & beyond.
Bingham has expanded vastly since the 1950s with the majority of the housing being relatively new. Most of the more historic buildings (including the Church of St. Mary and All Saints, Bingham, the oldest) being in the centre. Approximately 500 houses are now being built bordering the A52 Grantham Road and the existing Mill Hill estate.
