United Kingdom / England / Leicester / A47 St. Nicholas Circle, 129
 hotel, commemorative place/plaque, blue plaque
This hotel is located on St. Nicholas Circle. The building is quite prominent and dominates the view from St. Augustine Road.

A Blue Plaque is located opposite the main entrance of Holiday Inn to identify the location of William Carey's (1761-1834) cottage. He was for a while the Minister of Harvey Lane Baptist Chapel, and in 1793 he left here to become a missionary in India, where he devoted much of the rest of his life to translations.
The chapel in Harvey Lane was destroyed by fire in 1921, and the nearby cottage in which Carey lived was demolished in 1968 to make way for the Central Ring Road.
