‘Victorian Warrington -grab a glimpse before its all gone’ tour.
First stop, the town centre library – before Culture Warrington destroys the beautiful interior and slaps a gross glass slug on the exterior.
Bridge Street – before the bulldozers move in and more ‘tasteless hulking lumps of ‘street art’ are dumped in it.
The Italian water tower, Cairo St Cabinet works & infant School before they are demolished.
Other lovely buildings – before ugly uninspiring murals make them virtually unrecognisable.
etc.etc.etc.
Then back to the library for ‘digitised’ memories of what our beautiful town looked like not so long ago.
Hankies provided.
Not forgetting the awe (or should it be oh!) inspiring hologram of the new council offices, the cost of which is will remain a state secret until all those involved are collecting their retirement pensions.
