Section of Leicester's Roman town wall
This is the only part of Leicester's Roman town wall so far discovered with the original facing stones intact. The facing stones only survived because the wall had collapsed onto its face. Elsewhere these stones have been robbed or quarried away to be reused in other buildings.
The wall was discovered during one of Leicester's largest archaeological excavations which took place prior to the construction of the new buildings at Leicester Square. This piece of wall was moved here from the basement area of Burgess House so it could be displayed.
The wall enclosed the Roman town, it was almost 3m wide and probably 5m high, and most likely constructed in the 3rd century AD.

Chimney Apartments, Junior Street, Leicester
A grade II listed building from 1915, formerly the Richard Roberts hosiery factory. The 2004 listing citation mentions its open plan interior as surviving, which is hard to reconcile with it being now divided up into flats.
