a little like a hermit crab or cuckoo
the new build hides behind remains of the old
modernity concealed behind antiquity
cornices and gargoyles given a clean up
what lies behind the old place now?
its anybody’s guess
no signs of the buildings old use
beyond the front door
Cheers for reading. This was inspired by the old employment service building on the main road which has since undergone a little development…int posh flats for the executives working on the waterside in Salford…internally they’re modern boxes, but they’ve kept the old fascia of the original building.
