Do You Remeber Weavers Wine Bar?

If, like me, you are of a certain age, you may remember Weavers Wine Bar on King Street in Leicester. I can always remember going in, but my recollection of leaving is a little more hazy.

In case you can’t remember or never had the chance to wait 30 minutes to be served a warm beer, Weavers was named after a row of weavers cottages, original “one-up one-down” houses that Barratts tried to replicate in the late 1980s.

The cottages were imaginatively restored in the mid-1990’s. A full-length atrium was added to create a large bar, and both floors of the cottages were used for private drinking areas.

The bar closed in 2006, since when it was re-christened Cramant Cottages and used as a day nursery.
