In the 1950s, the largely derelict and overgrown late 17th century building that was the former Lucas’s Brewery on Bridge Street (that closed in 1923) was demolished to make way for the vile and unloved concrete monstrosity that was the Tax Office known as ‘Crown House’. Demolition has now taken place to knock it down to make way for another development. What has been good to see, has been the recycling of the materials that made up the building. Metals and concrete etc, pulverised and re-used elsewhere. Hopefully the new development will be more in fitting with the existing characters of the surrounding buildings. (probably more expensive apartments no doubt)
