Abstract:		 An Historic Building Survey was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at the Empire Hotel, Fosse Road North, Leicester on the 12th of December 2014. The survey studied the main building, consisting of east and west ranges, along with a low-roofed single-storey building and separate stable block, to which the main building had been joined. The building was essentially of two main phases. The east range was built in the early 1830s by a local landowner, Isaac Harrison. This part of the building was designed as a 'hydropathic institution,' known as Newfoundpool House. This spa became a private residence in the middle of the 19th Century and was then sold to a property developer, Orson Wright, in 1885. The west range was added in 1888 and many of the additional buildings of the original house demolished. The building was developed as the Empire Hotel, to serve this rapidly growing area of Leicester. The external appearance of The Empire has remained relatively unchanged since the middle of the 20th Century and the building continued as a public house until the end of the last decade. The report and archive will be deposited with Leicester City Museum Service under the accession number A35.2014. A copy of the report and archive will also be lodged with the Record Office for Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland.
