Turkey Cafe, Art Nouveau cafe in Granby Street, Leicester, England
The Turkey Cafe displays a distinctive facade covered in matt-glazed Carraraware tiles produced by the Royal Doulton Company with three large turkey figures.
Built in 1901 by architect Arthur Wakerley, the Grade II listed building served as a meeting place during the Edwardian period until the 1960s.
The establishment featured a Ladies' Orchestra performing twice daily and provided separate spaces for women and gentlemen, reflecting early 20th-century social norms.
Located at 24-24 Granby Street, the building now functions as both a daytime cafe and evening cocktail venue under the name 1901 - The Turkey Cafe.
The building combines British Art Nouveau architecture with Turkish-inspired elements and incorporates multiple references to turkeys in its decorative features.
