Measham High Street

The ends of the buildings facing https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1177912 are in a style typical of Joseph Wilkes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Wilkes Both buildings were constructed to serve the canal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashby_Canal

Supermarket on High Street
This part of High Street is in a Conservation Area which has clearly influenced the design of the shop fronts to look like more traditional ones. Compare this with http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1753845 .

The White Hart, Measham
Measham, with a population of just over 5,000, is a former mining village (Measham Colliery closed in 1986) in the Leicestershire coalfield. Especially on a dull day it is, in all fairness, a rather drab looking place with no real centre that straggles along the former A453 road. Here on Bosworth Road, the White Hart is a traditional friendly back street local.

The White Hart
Because it looks so much like the neighbouring houses, I walked past this twice before noticing that it is in fact a public house.

Gone but not forgotten
The Ashby Canal used to pass through the bridge built into this building on High Street but the restoration of the canal will see it cross the road via an aqueduct 50 or so metres down the road. The original line on the other side of High Street has been developed.
