The Leicester Seamstress Statue

The Leicester Seamstress Statue is a cherished landmark located in the city center of Leicester, specifically on Hotel Street off Horsefair Street, outside the City Rooms. This statue symbolizes the significance of the hosiery industry to Leicester, depicting a seamstress putting a seam into a stocking.

Sculpted by James Butler, the Seamstress Statue is part of a collection of notable works in Leicester, including statues of Richard III and Thomas Cook. While the Seamstress is not intended to represent a specific individual, it serves as a tribute to the city's rich history in hosiery production.
