Seagate looking south west at the Castle - by Crawford Fulton
The Cross looking north west from High Street - by Crawford Fulton
This is a classic example of how NOT to design a new building to slot into a conservation area: the horizontal emphasis of the upper floors is at odds with the vertical rhythm of the windows on either side of it; the perverse angle at which the building meets the High Street destroys the centuries old building frontage (which would have been parallel with the line of the road); and the use of materials is stridently alien. I regret to say that the proposed re-cladding of this obscenity will only make a bad situation worse, a truly inept example of camouflaging an elephant in a strawberry patch (the result being a cross between a camel and a rhinoceros). I hope to live long enough to witness this building's future date with the demolition man!
