 | Wapping Road School 1877 - 2000 Wapping Road School, Bradford 1877 - 2000 More Images And Archive Images at. http://silverstealth.fotopic.net/c1555597.html This important and historic school building has fallen into serious disrepair because of a protracted debate over its future between the owners Sphinx Commercial Ltd, and Council planners. An outline planning application for turning the Grade II listed building into apartments was submitted in 2004, before it was sold, but that has not yet been turned into reality. Since being in planning limbo for four years it has been struck by arsonists, thieves and vandals on several occasions. As a result, the school's slate roof has been gutted and most of its interior features destroyed. It is now on the council's Listed Building 'At Risk' register. |

 | The Cross Keys - City Centre Swansea The Cross Keys pub is a grade two listed building that has origins in the 14th century and, along with Swansea Castle, is one of only two surviving medieval buildings in the city centre area, records show it to have been an inn since the mid-1700s.Traditionally, the 'cross keys' are the emblem of St. Peter, the apostle given care of the keys to the kingdom of Heaven by Christ. The Cross Keys Inn, which has recently been extended in a mock-Medieval style. The twin gabled facade is a 1950 restoration of the early 17th century frontage, when the building was divided into two ground floor shops, but around the back of the inn are three 14th century windows which reveal the real age of the Cross Keys. |

 | DESTROY below the ACROPOLIS SHALL THEY DEMOLISH A WORK OF ART, TO REVEAL A RESTAURANT TERRACE? DELISTING, WITH AN INTENT TO DEMOLISH, OF A PROTECTED BUILIDING AT 17 DIONYSIOU AREOPAGITOU STR., ATHENS. (see also the greek version) More at: http://areopagitou17.blogspot.com The building at 17 Dionysiou Areopagitou, below the Acropolis, ranks according to architecture historians among the most significant early 20th century monuments, and is the most beautiful Art Deco specimen in Athens. Its façade is decorated with mosaics, sculptures and grey and pink marble. It was designed in 1930 by the famous greek architect Vassilis Kouremenos (1875 -- 1957). The building was listed as protected by the ministry of physical planning in 1978, along with another eight on the same street, and as a Work of Art by the culture ministry in 1988. After fierce debate and a hung vote which was resolved by the chairman's double vote, it was recommended that the building at 17 Dion. Areopagitou be de-listed as a Work of Art, so that it may also be de-listed as protected, together with its neighbour, and be demolished. The reason: the buildings partly block the view between the New Acropolis Museum and the Acropolis. Demolishing the two listed buildings would mutilate the architectural continuum of Dionysiou Areopagitou, which helps make this walkway one of the most interesting and beautiful in Europe. It would also vanquish an important piece of our modern urban history. Ironically, this is for the benefit of a museum site, whose mission should be to preserve and transmit memory, not to destroy it. |
