This was going to be a solo visit but bumped into the Leic guys :)

The former Leicester International Hotel, has been earmarked for redevelopment for student accommodation, yet more students for Leicester :( Redevelopment was supposed to be complete by 2012 but looks like they ran out of cash even before they have started the project! a big site, containing 220,000sq ft much of the site has been stripped with some features in places.

The building, which was originally built in the 1850's, became the head office of shoe firm Freeman Hardy and Willis in the 1950's before becoming a hotel in the 1970's.

Nice pics! Is there still electricity in this place. i note the two lights that seem to be on at the reception desk!
 
I remember it as the Centre Hotel in the 70's and early 80's. It had a sign that occasionally rotated, when it worked. It has been "being demolished" since about 1985, although they seem a little more serious about it this time.
