Foxes mural to go on listed building

A Grade-II* listed building is to be temporarily decorated with a mural to celebrate Leicester City's Premier League title win, despite opposition.

Historic England said it could "harm the appreciation and understanding" of the Newarke Houses Museum.

But the city council has approved placing the mural on the building for two years.

It is the fourth of six pieces of art which the council has commissioned to celebrate the Foxes' 5,000-1 success.

The mural, which features Buddhist images, will celebrate the Thai heritage of Leicester City's owners.

The Foxes stunned the Premier League by winning the title by 10 points in May.
