Changes in Loughborough 2023

This time last year there had been so many changes to buildings in Loughborough during the year, that I felt I ought to record some of them on the blog. Well, this year has also seen lots of changes, so here I am again looking at a selection of developments during 2023. Of course, apart from actual building changes, there have also been lots of instances of building change of use, or simply building vacation.

Here are some photos of a few of the changes I've noticed (apologies that some are so out of focus - I was having a worse day for photography than usual!):

Moon and Bell closed

Windmill changed to a residential property (I couldn't find my later photo which I'm sure showed even more changes than this particular photo from October 2023 does)

Blacksmiths empty

Teas & Cs changed to an O2 shop

Wilko gone

Boujee Home gone (previously Oh Deer, Dunelm, Able Jacks etc.)

HSBC being renovated

Co-op still being renovated

Demolition of the former Labour Exchange on Cradock Street now completed and replaced with flats

Former Ellwoods garage and latterly a car wash still an empty site

Former Grudgings Needleworks, and latterly GTG Engineering, renovated and now known as Albert House

Work on Bedford Square now completed

Devonshire Square mural now gone, and awaiting a living wall, I believe

House on Park Road, renovation complete

House on Burton Street, renovation still on-going

Canal towpath renovated all the way from the Chain Bridge to Moor Lane Bridge

Renovation work continues at the Bellfoundry

Flats on the site of the former Royal George now under scaffolding

And that's all for now folks!! Thanks for dropping by!
