Quote: Saddened! "Is it? I'm in my thirties and to me it's nothing but a former nightclub. They can knock it down tomorrow for all I care. I don't see it as iconic in a positive sense, more a beacon for everything that was bad about the town. It was a great day when the nightclub ended and having it redeveloped into something else or left as open ground is fine by me.
What would you rather they did? Left the shell abandoned?'"
And I could say the cottage to me is nothing but a pub turned Indian Restaurant, the Academy was a derelict building turned into the Warrington Guardian offices. The old fish market is just a roof for the odd fairground ride or bouncy castle..... ridiculous.......
Just because you didn't like Mr smiths (and I wasn't a fan even when it was good) and arent old enough to remember it as anything else its no reason to herald its demolishing.
The only thing left from our past soon will be a set of iron gates in front of the Town hall. We've plenty of "open Ground" to look at the one outside Sainsburys next to the Marquis for a start. A listed building was knocked down to make way for that ramshackle dumping ground.
its a shame it couldn't have been turned into a proper theater but I guess the Waterfront isn't going to be that great vision the council are trying to convince us it will be.
Anyway good luck with those apartments on the busiest traffic bottleneck in the North west. no balconies required...!!
