WEAVERS, 54 KING STREET

Cramant Yard Cottages, behind King Street before the conversion to a pub.

After conversion. Opened in April 1995,  a most imaginative scheme to convert run of old Victorian cottages to form part of a bar in a modern conservatory on the side, each room of the cottages forming a separate drinking area.

By 2006, had become more of a party venue, eventually ceasing its original aim.  A real shame.  Once again Leicester failed to embrace a unique venture, which in other major cities may have flourished. Currently mainly a restaurant.

Entrance to Weavers from King Street, featuring a mural on the passageway wall that leads through to the cottages.
