This old building stands on the corner of Jarvis Street and Alexander Street in the Black Friars area of Leicester. Alexander Street no longer exists, it has been completely cleared for redevelopment. The building probably provided power to the former Leicester Central Station, which was located nearby. Black Friars is an area of the city of Leicester next to the River Soar, it is named after a former Dominican friary. The area is being redeveloped with a mixture of apartments and offices.
