| L3119. This photograph was taken in 1976 from inside the mosaic chamber that had been built to preserve the Blackfriars tessellated Roman pavement which lay on the site of Leicester's Great Central Station. The railway company was required by law to preserve the mosaic and to ensure that it could be seen by the public, and so this tiled chamber was home to the pavement until it was removed to the Jewry Wall Museum in the mid 1970s - seven years after the station had closed. | |
