[Margaret Pilkington]

It is always sad when a great bit of a city is lost.
But the legacy of this great establishment will go on while ever there are people who studied there...and can make a difference to lives with their work, exist.

It cannot be refurbished. It cannot be replaced.
I suppose it could be rebuilt in the style that was its hallmark...but whether that will happen is anyone's guess.
I just hope they do not replace it with something modernistic and ugly(I find that most modern architecture has nothing characterful about it).
