Leicester's Indoor Market 

Fantastic film that's bringing back some memories of buying foam and retro cameras!

Probably the most interesting carbuncle Leicester has ever had. I had a fondness for it, and I did find it to be sometimes a strangely beautiful building. At least back in the days before it became very rundown. The way that sunlight hit those angles, and gave a stark contrast of some areas of the red brick glowing in daylight and others in shadow is something etched in my memory. I have a love of Brutalism. And although this building doesn't fit nicely into that category, there were certainly Brutalist aspects about it. I think by 2014, it did need to come down. But we did lose a significant portion of the overall market, with its demise. Green Dragon Square is somewhat pleasant to look at, a bit dodgy to walk through, and has potential which has not yet really been tapped into. I think I'd like to see some freestanding stalls emerge on a more ongoing basis, bring a bit of life to it. I'm keen to see the council carry out the proposed demolition of those empty shops, where Priceless Shoes used to be. It's one of the best ideas of the Reconnecting Leicester project, and will really make a good through route from St Martins, Cank Street, right through to the Town Hall. It'll help to make all that area feel part of the city centre once again, instead of just a dull backend far away from the hip and happening High Cross Centre. A lot as improved already, but that could really tie the whole thing in.

I love this! I went in there hundreds of times and still always got lost :-)

I came to Leicester in 2016. I am in this market every day. I had no idea it used to be completely different there. A while before I lived in Leicester

I am glad that the indoor market has gone
