Considering that there are a lot of photographers in this group, it would be good to see their photos of demolished

Where was that Lewis Hostel DG?
I suppose the motivation for threads like this isn't just wishing we these incredible
buildings back with us, (and to be honest I really do wish we had some of them) it's also vital if we as a city come to demand the same high-level
production values from the developers in today's and tomorrow's built environment, as those best-practice examples that went before..
Also, I'm a
huge fan of great modern architecture but I also wish we could talk seriously about actually rebuilding buildings occaisionally when to do so brings back
that which was lost. Like identity. Like history. Like just... wonderful buildings.
I literally would replace-pretty much exactly-the OHR, for
instance.
