Thursday Doors Victoria Park Road

Victoria Park used to be a race course in the centre of Leicester. When the horse races shifted south to Oadby, Victoria Park became a … park. These crumbling Victorian villas are situated on the southern edge of the park.

Some fine decoration on the arch around the door

With plain stone surround, stained glass inserts, coach lights and a red door

The lead protection over the ornate brickwork is falling down

You get a glimpse of the tiled mosaic floor of the hallway

Seen better days

So has the car parked outside, which hasn’t moved for months

Finally, Montello, a fine front portico
