World-famous Wolsey knitwear factory set to fall.
An iconic Leicester building is being pulled down as part of a £15m project to turn the site into flats. Demolition work is underway on the former Wolsey knitwear factory in Belgrave.
Leicester Housing Association, which owns the building, plans to build 40 affordable homes and 62 extra care flats for the elderly. Developers are retaining the building’s mosaic cameo of Cardinal Wolsey as part of the plan.
