There's something I found quite touching about this image of the stopped clock, the useless door that leads off a ledge and the abrupt finality of closing off the entrance.

End of an era: Adhesive Specialities Ltd.
This is actually in Ladywell, rather than Crofton Park, but I felt a touch of sadness none the less seeing what was happening to such a lovely old iconic building. I thought the crows seemed particularly ominous in this setting.

i too like the building but apparently the art deco aspect was only built in the 1980s - hardly old.
Maybe what replaces it will be nicer, provide a new fresh surge of people wanting to live in ladywell, thus helping the high street.
Yes, it is a modern building - or rather it was a victorian house (I think) that was done up in the art deco style.
It's always been a shame that the building was so close to the road as most of it was obscured - yes, let's hope it's replaced with something nicer and that actually gets used rather than standing empty.
I've been taking pictures of the gradual demolition. I'm really sorry to see it go.
