It's Got to Go
Built in 1882 one of the Nairns Linoleum factories in town, closed about 25 years ago when production was moved to another site and is subject to be demolished. A report has concluded the existing buildings are not technically incapable of repair, but argues the ''excessive associated costs will render their repair and restoration unviable.''
It states: "The loss of the listed building will be regrettable.However, its restoration is not economically viable and is actively preventing the regeneration of the overall site. The report goes on to suggest to make the building wind and watertight would cost£1m, while a full internal refurbishment would cost£2.35m.
Eh dear! So it's got to go but before it vanishes I wish here to salute the vision of the architects and masons who erected such a majestic building and I hope that their modern counterparts can achieve the same standards.
But somehow: "I have my doubts"
