Top Hat Terrace Leicester
Not really scenic but intrigued me with the heads and its name.
This is on London Rd near the railway station.
I've since been told a famous detective lived here and the 3 heads at the top are the same man in different disguises. I have no idea if this is true or not.
After a bit of research I found a lot of information about this building .It was dedicated to a famous detective and the disguises info was correct .
His name was Tanky Smith circa 1840ish.
