My first blog entry maybe a little controversial and I hope stir up some debate. As a long term resident of Bath I love the old gas works, I think it's part of our industrial heritage and Bath's sky line would not be complete without it. However I know not everyone would agree believing it to be an eyesore. I'd like to know what others think?
The gas works are not pleasent to look at. Bath's skyline would be perfectly acceptable without them and a much nicer piece could be put in their place.
ReplyDeleteThis has been my arguement for 2 years. However, I am recently inclined to see your point of view and perhaps the skyline would be irrevocably changed for the worst if this final gas structure was demolished. I know that it would leave a big gap when I am walking past that area and perhaps I would miss it...
Is this heritage? Yes. Is it pretty? NO. Should we preserve it? I am not sure anymore...
