This isn't just about architecture, or the collapse of high street retailing.

There seems to be a loss of confidence in modernism, the future, or radical approaches to living. We seem to have turned back to tradition.

Less than a year after being re-opened the Beales department store in #Peterborough is closing.

The city has lost all its flagship #DepartmentStores - John Lewis, Co-op, Beales (twice), C&A.

They lost other big stores too, and we all know that Mothercare, M&S, ToysRus, are all gone.
