Sheltered
We pass the old tram shelter
every time we go to the match
Just like us this tram shelter
has never seen a tram in Leicester
Donated to the city in 1934
by hosiery magnate Robert Rowley
It never served its purpose
the tramline never built
Over the years it's been a place
for couples to canoodle
Teenagers to huddle
spray paint messages
Windows smashed it offers
no respite from the wind
Plans have been submitted
to turn it into a coffee bar
Council officers think it's maybe
a good way to make money
More than a disused building
this is a landmark
Leave it be
