This is the site of the former Filbert Street football stadium, which served as the home of Leicester City FC from 1891 until 2002. The stadium was demolished in 2003. This waste ground was meant to be developed for housing, but was cancelled due to the financial crisis of 2007–2008. The terraced housing on the right are on Filbert Street. The tall building is The Summit (219 feet), part of a student development located along Eastern Boulevard.
