| Shaftesbury House, from the corner of Lady Pit Lane and Coupland Road (Beeston) |
 | 7th March 2008.
Image shows Shaftesbury House, the former hostel for the homeless, from the junction with Coupland Road, left, and Lady Pit Lane, foreground. Work has begun by developers, Citu, to convert the 1938 building to a mix of residential apartments and office space. The scheme is called 'The Greenhouse' as the focus is on providing a sustainable, zero-carbon environment, implementing solar heating and rooftop wind turbines. In 1938 Shaftesbury House was considered a showpiece, catering for over 500 homeless people. Sixty staff were employed here, including a barber, a boot repairer and laundry workers.
