The photograph has been taken at the Angel Edmonton and shows the hideous facade of the supermarket that has now replaced the once Grand 'Regal Cinema' at Upper Edmonton. It demonstrates how many of our historic and dearly loved buildings have been demolished in the face of so called progress. One wonders how the planners could have approved the construction of this building which is a very poor substitute for the previous edifice.
