No doubt many do but it’s sad to say it was not so iconic that it saved it from the bulldozer. Many iconic buildings in Grantham have suffered the same shortsighted approach and thinking.
Grantham is vast becoming a town full of sheds, look at all your supermarkets, diy stores, pizza take a ways etc, all big metal boxes no design features, no style, just big ugly metal boxes with big ugly bright neon signs advertising who is selling from there this week.
Walk down any high street in any town and see the same outlets in the same big ugly boxes. When this council say that they have “A big plan” what is meant by that is they have a plan to turn Grantham into a faceless, character less place to do your shopping, in fact even that will be knocked on the head when the much heralded outlets become reality.
If you wish to see what happens to a small town when them places open just take a trip to Spalding and see what effect the opening of Springfields shopping outlet had on the town and it’s high street shops.
Yet people flock in their tens of thousands to see places like Beamish and Iron Bridge Gorge to see things as they were,( before big ugly sheds) could be a message there somewhere but I suppose it will be lost.
