I wish I had loads of money to buy it, it is so sad to see it empty and un-used<br /><br />Leicester's industrial heritage is also badly neglected by the city - on Frog Island - there are two old factories, one by the river Soar has been semi-knocked down and has a car wash in front of it. there is just enough left to remind you of its former glory but is in a depressing state - perhaps it was to be done up but is now left in limbo. There is another factory down Slater Street which looked like it was going to be made into flats but is also left derelict.<br /><br />of course there was the bowstring bridge but evil Leicester council already got rid of that. no sign of the supposed swimming pool either...Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607190124293660893noreply@blogger.com
