POPPYCHRISTINA Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 This is a recent photo that I took from standing in the doorway of The Roebuck, Charles Street..It is looking towards where The Yorkshire Grey was. Not a pretty sight.I think this is another major mistake by our town planners.Does anyone like this building? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest transit Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 OH MY GOD-- omg ,omg. how on earth did this get planning approval -It just looks like a bodge attempt of a revamp of one of the Norfolk Park tower blocks which the council demolished!!! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 It could have had no character at all, like The Moor ... not to say I like it, what the rest of anywhere looking like ? My wife, an infrequent visitor has a stronger passion to retain the old than me, especially High Street (foolishness on her part) and The Moor I cannot imagine anything on The Moor worth worrying over except Pepperpot/Cambridge Arcade/Leah's Yard none of which are on the Moor .... lets start a campaign to save Debenhams/Atkinsons/The Hideous MSC thingie or have these all been put out of their misery ?

HughW Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I think this is more interesting than your average multi-storey car park. (does anyone know of a beautiful one?) I don't think I can judge it until I can see it next to the much bigger City Lofts tower. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest codders Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 It looks like has a temporary "wrapping" around it. Another example of bad planning control! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
