Leicester’s historic buildings restored

restoration of historic buildings in LeicesterA previously ‘neglected’ area of Leicester city centre is due to see its historic buildings restored and rejuvenated in a new £1.6 million makeover.

The city council last month outlined new plans to restore the area near the cathedral, which it had identified as needing repair and renovation. The ‘Greyfriars Townscape Heritage Initiative’ will restore around 20 Georgian buildings, which have been repurposed as bars, offices and restaurants, over the next 5 years.

Commenting on the upcoming restorations, City mayor Sir Peter Soulsby stated that: “We have some lovely Georgian buildings here and quite a lot from later periods, and with a bit of tender loving care it could be an absolute gem.”

He added: “We want to keep the historic character of this area.”

WW Brown & Sons have a strong track record of work on period restorations, having recently completed work on The Old Grammar School in Market Harborough. If you are looking to restore or refurbish part of your property, call us on 01858 465353 today.
