More about this scene
The Gothic Clock Tower, designed by local architect Joseph Goddard in 1868, is decorated with pinnacles and canopies, along with four Leicester worthies including Alderman Gabriel Newton and Simon de Montfort. Beyond Corts Limited can be seen the dominant dome of the Opera House, demolished in 1960, where each year the Christmas pantomime was staged, and appreciated with thunderous applause.
