Newfoundpool

[1] Harrison intended to develop the area as a spa, using a spring as the source of water for a Hydrotherapy and bathing establishment, but the venture failed after a few years.

[1] Wright laid out roads across the area and sold off the land as building plots.

The majority of houses built were of the two-storey terraced type, brick-built, with the corner sites constructed as shops.

Along Fosse Road North a number of three- and four-storey red-brick villas were built.

[3] Newfoundpool is part of Fosse Ward and the Leicester West parliamentary constituency.
