One of the benefits (?) of getting older is that you remember earlier schemes that never got past the planning stage.
Round about 1969 there were plans for a new cinema behind Central Station, and there have been other schemes since.
I love the first tall glass tower, but I'm not so keen on the two smaller replacements.
I never was keen on Unity right from the start when the first drawings appeared in "Your Move" (but I love the Beethams).
