More about this scene
In the centre is the dome of the Grand Hotel, built in 1898 to the designs of Cecil Ogden, and dismissed by Pevsner as 'of no architectural value', perhaps an over-critical view. In Belvoir Street in 1949, Cowlings Record Shop was much frequented by Leicester's youth, who could sit in booths and hear the records before deciding whether or not to buy.
