Originally not intended for posting, I now feel that this otherwise unexceptional picture adds to the record of Highcross Leicester and the drama of its architecture. Although the Nando's occupies only the ground floor (the Showcase cinema is above) this struck me in the bold evening light as reminiscent of a South American temple. 200_P1040544R

Highcross Leicester is the city's retail and leisure hub and also offers some of its most striking modern architecture. The Showcase cinema is viewed along Highcross Street and the inevitable wasteland is seen to the left. 200_P1040568

Highcross Leicester is the city's retail and leisure hub and also offers some of its most striking modern architecture. The major retailer is John Lewis and its advertising can be seen from all approaches. Part of the centre is viewed here across yet another piece of wasteland. 200_P1040569
