Station Street, Leicester.
All that remains of Leicester’s first railway station are these two stone pillars at the entrance of its former goods yard. It was opened in 1840 and was known as Leicester Station until it was renamed Leicester Campbell Street in 1867. It was from the original station that Thomas Cook ran his first railway excursion to Loughborough for supporters of the Temperance League destined to attend a meeting there. Although the station's further expansion had been contemplated for some time it was not until 1890 that the go-ahead was given for Leicester Campbell Street Station to be replaced by a new station to be called Leicester London Road with its frontage on London Road, i.e. the A6. The replacement station was completed in 1894. As is evident, the station yard is now a car park for station staff and/or Royal Mail office staff? The dome of the Central Mosque in Conduit Street is also visible.

Gateway, Station Street, Leicester
Looking rather unexceptional these days, the gateway was the entrance to the original Midland Railway station of 1839, designed by William Parsons in Greek Revival style, and is the only surviving element of this. The main gates have been lost, but one cast iron gate survives in the side passage to the left http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6051870 . Listed Grade II.

St George's Tower with 'Meccano'
Very similar view to a picture I took around one year ago. The metal girders appeared around October 2006, but as yet not much exterior renovation to the tower.
