In the 1970s, prefabricated buildings seemed to offer the solution to assembling functional buildings.
Of course, there were two problems:
a. They were never meant to last forever & so without maintenance & component renewal a crisis of stability was always going to happen;
b. in many cases they were badly constructed anyway!

A cynic might add, that it was only after this distribution become clear did the #tories 'spring into action'... as many have already suggested here, no doubt slightly delayed while they figured out how to channel the repair funds to their mates!

#Today I went for a long walk with a small #dog and my friend Susie. We visited #LymePark, a #NationalTrust property near #Stockport, famous for its role as #Pemberley in the #BBC's 1995 adaptation of #PrideAndPrejudice. It was a good afternoon.

I got gifted this book from a family member. I'm ready to read through it and see which buildings are still standing and which were torn down. #ShawneeCounty #Kansas #books #buildings #history

More #Manchester scenes from my morning trip into town. A vaulted arcade on the St Peter's Square side of Manchester Town Hall Extension, the war memorial in St Peter's Square, old and new buildings near King Street, and an ornate doorway.
