The Church Gate conservation area character appraisal (PDF dowloadable from here) says:
Finally on the east side of Church Gate, the premises occupied by Langton’s (81 Church Gate) at the corner of Gravel Street are of interest. They were built as a garage (Castle’s Motors) in the 1930s, probably at the time when Gravel Street was extended.
It is in Art deco style – popular for such uses at that time - and features a tower that acts as a prominent local landmark.

Fascinating. I don't know Leicester well enough but clearly I owe it another visit. I wonder if there was originally parking on the roof.
It certainly has a Lido look to it!
