One Of The Foundation Stones, Coalville Primitive Methodist Chapel, 1903
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is the s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

High Road, Beeston
High Road, Beeston is a pedestrianised shopping street in Beeston, Nottinghamshire. It runs from Beeston Square to Humber Road. History The road was constructed as part of the Sawley to Nottingham turnpike road. In the 19th century, it was on the upper side of the village of Beeston and gained its name, High Road by the middle of the 19th century.

Thringstone is a village in north-west Leicestershire, England about north of Coalville. It lies within the area of the English National Forest.
