Which one?Where is boris.
Very fair point, things seem to move in cycles i think. Ie. There seems to be a renaissance in doing certain historical buildings up but i think a lot are just a pit to throw your money away.they were just "old buildings" back then , no one gave a shit about historical interest. there was loads of great old buildings up beside the fire station , and down the east end , no one gave a fuck when they got demolished either . it was called "progress",but with hindsight ,yeah , it should have been kept . thing is , there still is loads of great old buildings in sunderland ,the old orphanage, stuff down high street etc. no one gives a fuck about them now .
@Boris Bear.Which one?
You’re as obsessed with the council as the mags are with us
The hole it left made a great place for skateboarding.
theres a great old university building in durham that has been turned into a hotel , I went in just to see the tiled entrance and the restored foyer , magnificent ,brilliant use of an old ,defunct building . an ideal use for the likes of the Galen building, the orphanage, or countless other big stuff lying empty . the town hall debate is from another era , the era of "modernise" , not recycle .Very fair point, things seem to move in cycles i think.

I don’t follow the football mate. I like it when we win not so much if we lose and somewhere in between if we draw. Fishing is my sport.You’re as obsessed with the council as the mags are with us
It was the 70s ,we'd grew up in dark old buildings with rattly windows and leaking roofs and coal fires ,we'd been to the moon and we're looking forward .Leccy fires ,colour tellies , hardboard over 4 panel doors ,new handles to match the diamond pattern wallpaper .We didn't want houses like our grannies .Little did we know we'd run out of ideas 30 years laterAn old subject I know but how could you have a building this magnificent and demolish it ?
