Note the old Lewises department store in the background awaiting its fate, now all these stores have gone except the original store in Liverpool. The Midland Fox bus company is also now a distant memory.

Haymarket Memorial Clock Tower
Impressive landmark in Leicester Town Centre with TX Maxx in the background
The Clock Tower was constructed in 1868. The tower was built mostly in Ketton stone with a base of Mountsorrel granite, and incorporates column shafts made of polished Peterhead granite and serpentine. The statues were made from Portland stone. The site was directly above the junction of two of the city's main sewers which were modified prior to the tower's construction.
Officially a memorial, the Clock Tower has four statues of sons of Leicester, one at each corner. The figures are Simon de Montfort, William Wyggeston (spelt 'William Wigston' on the tower itself), Thomas White and Gabriel Newton http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haymarket_Memorial_Clock_Tower.
