Abstract:
An historic building survey to English Heritage Levels 2 and 3 was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at the former Towers Hospital, Gipsy Lane, Leicester between the 17th and 20th of November 2014. The survey studied a range of former hospital buildings known as the Daisy Peake buildings and other ancillary buildings. The buildings being surveyed were built in the 1890s as part of an extension to the Leicester Borough Asylum which opened on this site in 1869. The Daisy Peake Building finally closed in 2013 and the buildings sold off for residential redevelopment. The proposed redevelopment entails the demolition of some buildings and conversion of others. In view of the potential loss of these socially important buildings the Conservation Officer at Leicester City Council requested that a Level 3 survey be carried out on the parts to be demolished. A Level 2 survey was carried out on the remaining buildings. The report will be deposited with Leicester City Museums under accession number A32.2014
