Abstract:		 A level 3 historic building survey was carried out at the Knighton Street Offices, Leicester Royal Infirmary. The work was commissioned by University Hospitals Leicester from University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) in advance of the proposed demolition of the building as part of a major redevelopment of the site.The locally listed four storey building was opened in 1910 as the Edward Wood Nurses’ Home and was originally built with an E-shaped floor plan. It was designed by Everard, Son & Pick. Gradual redevelopment of the crowded hospital site during the second half of the 20th century has drastically reduced the size of the building leaving only the easternmost third surviving. Internally the physical structure and layout of the building remains generally unchanged although almost all fittings relating to its time as a nurses home have been removed. A number of fitted cupboards and wardrobes are still present as are most doors and door fittings.
