This is actually a real shame and will be a blow to the town.. it’s a really interesting place to wander around and was pretty good value for money IMO too.

Not sure why they are complaining about thou, did they think City & County were just going to let it rot for years... course not they were always going to eventually redevelop it.

I do have some very poor photo shots just after it closed and before it became what it is now.. somewhere..
