We live in an area of our town that has some beautiful old houses including 2 manor houses ("New" and "Old" - both listed) several quaint little old "Proper" pubs, several good old cottages and the lodge building in the foreground of this pictue that are interesting buildings with character.

So, you'll be far from surprised when I say that I'm nothing less than sickened by the sacriligious decision that someone has decided to take in allowing the construction of this monstrosity which will tower over several of the buildings I like so much! ... :(

Even now, this building looks like the tenement slums of tomorrow in my opinion with it's pretentious luxary of being close to the centre of our town and a short hop to a Major city. I'll end my rant here or I'll be here all night ...
