It is a long time since this building known as Homewood was used as a house and it was a hotel until 1952 when it became the MHA care home. It was a care home for 59 years until recently when a new "Homewood Care Home " was built further along the Kenilworth Rd. As can be seen the old Homewood has been boarded up. The site may be redeveloped but it is in a conservation area. The road is the old A452 which has now been rerouted away from the centre of town and this is now the B4087. Thanks to John Brightley for the extra information.
