For generations a major local landmark. I'm saddened to hear that most of the site is to be demolished with only retention of the tower (and possibly the rest of the multistorey block?). The satellite shows a large area of sheds and they nearly always go to make way for houses. The chimney was offed a few years ago. I wonder if I could get such a car-less view today.
