One picture today and one small but perfectly formed Art Nouveau building. The Turkey Café in Granby Street.
The Turkey Café was designed by Arthur Wakerley in 1900-1. The Moorish Style facade is faced with Carrara ware made by Doulton Co.
Wakerley was a prominent Leicester architect chiefly remembered for developing the North Evington district of the city. He was also a businessman and politician, becoming Mayor of Leicester in 1898.
