The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begins to crumble
But love will never die
Doomed to face the demolition crew – the anti-social intrusions and falling masonry have enforced a fence, an impenetrable fence.
My requests for unforced entry were politely rebuffed by the hi-vis vest security guards.
A former police station could finally be demolished this autumn after closing six years ago when officers moved to new headquarters.
Blackpool Magistrates’ Court, which is part of the same complex, will also be bulldozed after crumbling concrete was discovered in the building in January.
In recent months, the empty Bonny Street police station has become a target for anti-social behaviour.
Clearance of the site will pave the way for investment in leisure facilities including hotels and indoor theme parks by developer Nikal.
So this is the last time around the concrete block for me – memories are made of this, my previous visit in 2022.
Yet the future still seems slightly uncertain.
It is unclear at this stage how the vision for the development has changed in the three-plus years since the outline plans were approved.
For those of you watching in colour – this is in black and white.
May be the last time, I don’t know
May be the last time, I don’t know
Lord, I don’t know
Modern Mooch
