The Destruction of Nottinghams Historic Buildings

[firbeck 860]

We've all talked about this before, The Black Boy, Drury Hill, etc etc, but it still goes on, they haven't learnt their lesson.

Look up this website, it's very expansive but just fiddle around and see whats about, whats been allowed to happen to Hags Farm is unbelievable:

From my book by Douglas Whitworth, a couple of examples:

Nazareth House, a beautiful Victorian building, bulldozed in 2002, how could they justify that!!!!!!

Lenton Methodist church, a rare example of a Victorian prefab church, it may not be pretty, but respected everywhere else but not in Nottingham it seems, all back pocket jobs I reckon.

Watch out for those bulldozers outside the Castle Gates, could be a few quid to be earned there in reclaimed stone.

Might be a coincidence Pete but aren't most of the buildings we are losing Christian, ie churches,chapels or just christian establishments??

As far as I am aware the old part of Nazareth House is still standing, the 1960's extetion was demolished. I will have a look this weekend.

We could have had one of the best market squares in Europe had it not been for sixties labour councils to have allowed sixties shoe boxes to have been erected was nothing short of criminal meeowed
