Bushby started out as a hamlet in the ecclesiastical parish of Thurnby in the Gartree Hundred of Leicestershire, England. It became a separate civil parish in 1866 and part of the Billesdon Rural District from 1894 until 1935 when it was re-combined with Thurnby.
It lies just south of the A47 Uppingham Road, which leads east from Leicester, and is contiguous with Thurnby. Most of the settlement is made up of commuter housing, but it retains a handful of farms and shops. (Source: Wikipedia)
