Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	University of Leicester Archaeological Services was commissioned by Mr R. Hartley to undertake a photographic survey of the former Swonews Newsagents, Castle Street, Hinckley, Leicestershire. Planning permission had been granted to sub-divide the Grade II Listed building into two ground floor retail units and two residential units on the first and second floors. The building is mainly early 19th century in date but is likely to have elements of an 18th century building which early cartographic sources record on the site. The ground floor was converted to retail use in the later 19th century with the insertion of the shop front windows. Evidence of this retail use remains throughout the building, including a wall mounted safe and hanging poles. A number of original early 19th century features also survived, including a number of doors, door furniture and structural timber work. Evidence of re-used beams could be seen within the attic space and 18th century fixtures and fittings remain within the building. The photographic survey provided a permanent visual (photographic) record of the building in its current state. The archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council, under the museums accession number X.A31.2010.
