BTW.
I'm going to the Town Hall on Tuesday to object to the proposed demolition of the former Bedford Cinema in Walton.
Wish me luck.
Philip, I do wish you luck regarding Bedford rd.
There was a letter about the cinema in the paper this week - might have been in the Echo or the free paper, I can't remember where I read it, the person mentioned that there is a dome still intact, and they reckon that the building could be restored to some of it's former glory.
I do hope this happens.
What is so sad about the Breck rd sandstone houses, is that they will be replaced by some cheap flats.
I saw a similar thing happen down Townsend lane; an old building which was formerly a little school or chapel ( I'm not exactly sure which it was, but I know that it existed late 1800's or very early 1900's) - they demolished it and have built horrible flats which were advertised as 'apartments' ( which makes me smile!) - the flats were built very recently, approx 2 years ago, if that.
They were victim of anti-social behaviour and vandalism, they are now an eyesore already - - I will take a photo next time I am passing.
To think that they took away that old building, which was a little local landmark - to put rubbish in it's place.
Well, I can see the same thing happening by the Cabbage Hall.
