A busy little meeting place for photographers, designers and artists but unfortunately it was closed by the council due to them not wanting to cover the costs any more, like a lot of public buildings in the UK.
The grubby old building is now just another skeleton or monument of 'what was', it's completely derelict and with the usual signs sitting on the front; for sale, to let etc.
Through the windows you can sometimes see figures wandering around inside and the eery shine of flickering lights at night.
Leicester city centre is full of these types of buildings, wasting away and waiting to be converted into social housing for the mass of unemployed people living in the city centre.
