Not a great loss, but still worth a mention is the proposed demolition of the St George Working Man’s Club in Scholes:

Certainly embodies something of the colliery culture of West Yorkshire, and im sure will be missed by the people of Scholes.

The Old Brick Works at Blackley Hill, Elland has been disused or a while and is set for demolition to be replaced by 80 dwellings. Classic suburbanisation. No proision of public transport, and as such we can assume there will be at least 50 return car journeys to Leeds/Bradford/Huddersfield each day.

ImageAnd to look at the plans, you might well think this is Californian dessert. Very uninspiring placemaking. Functional building, with the only utility considered being privacy.Image
