Leicester Mural

I spotted this mural, while waiting for the Park and Ride bus from Leicester City Centre The Savoy Theatre – later known as the ABC – stood on Belgrave Gate for around 70 years but, after lying empty for years, the building was demolished by its owners in 2007.

Artists from Leicester-based Graffwerk have created a large-scale mural that’s was inspired by the Savoy and two other venues on Belgrave Gate: the Floral Hall and the Palace Theatre.

Covering three buildings, the giant mural provides a fitting backdrop to Savoy Street, which is a new road for buses, taxis, pedestrians and cyclists that links Belgrave Gate with Mansfield Street.

I straightened the converging verticals

Fairly amazing! (Phil, thanks for the bits of info on the RX100. I found the M6 2ndhand/as new online at a good price at LCE and persuaded them to let me have it even £50 cheaper...)
