Wondered if you would ever see this - maybe you should start giving guided tours...

my friend found this and sent me the link and also i wouldn't mind giving people guided tours around the building.

I live in Worksop, just around the corner form where it were located. It's sadly been knocked down now. :
I had a friend who used to go in there when he were younger.

Really? That's a pity - I wonder if they got permission for demolition of a listed building.

Interesting as the document trail suggests that permission hasn't been sought for demolition only a renewal of the 2006 planning in 2010. This was refused but then allowed with conditions at appeal. Part of the conditions was the time frame for work to start and that period has expired.

Always seems a waste when good quality buildings are demolished... often to be replaced by fairly poor quality little boxes that can be found in their hundreds all around Europe.

Anyone have any report from the local rag about the demolition as it would surely have been mentioned by locals?
