Freemasons Hall on Park Road, Coalville.

According to Lane's Masonic Records (visit link) this is home to the Wayfarer Lodge, No. 8679.

"The Wayfarer Lodge was formed by a group of Masons whose origins lay elsewhere, who decided that rather than becoming joining members of Lodges across Leicestershire they would form their own Lodge and encourage others to join them who were similarly placed. That group of Founders included a number who have played a significant role in the life of Freemasonry at both a Provincial and a National level. They were encouraged by Leicestershire Province to make their base at Coalville where they could share the purpose built Temple and Lodge rooms established by Grace Dieu Lodge No.2428.

This tradition of welcoming Masonic newcomers from around the country to join them has continued until the present day, so that the growth of the Lodge has been able to draw on a rich and fertile soil. At the same time Wayfarer Lodge has been in operation long enough to have established its own traditions and practices. It has the reputation of offering a warm welcome so that greetings at the festive board are brought from far and near, not just from the guests but also from the founders and incomers, who have most often maintained their links with their mother lodges. At the same time Wayfarer Lodge had also attracted members from nearer at hand to join its lively and vigorous fellowship as it continues to prosper.

The choice of name and motto really tells it all. The Wayfarer Tree (Viburnum Lantana), after which it is named, is a small tree which is commonly found along the lanes and roadsides of the southern parts of England. It is a tough tree, very flexible and hard to break. The motto “undique” means from all sides."
