More about this scene
A selection of buses and the odd tram occupy one of the four gates that surround the clock tower. The two buses parked on the left are outside the Bell Hotel, birthplace of the Leicester-Swannington railway, the first in the Midlands. One tramline disappears by the side of the hotel through a narrow gap to the depot behind. All have now gone, including the large Lewis's department store built in classic 1930s style.
