It took a great lot of effort to demolish the hall didn't it, despite all the lies put around at the time that it was practically about to fall down.
At the risk of being totally boring...could the facade not have been saved ? They did a good job on the Mining & Technical College
No, what am I thinking....money was talking
Not boring Helen. It's a perfectly valid and logical question. That masonry was done by a skillful Stonemason from years gone by...worth saving, maybe it was!
Gary Your wrong again those bricks were laid by Bricklayers
not stonemasons get your facts right Gary D.C.
You can't bricklay Stonemason Derick, this is done by craftsmen. Your thinking of something else.
An item on the BBC online news this morning highlights some of our buildings that were built 100 years or more ago, worth looking at.
