The Victorian greenhouse in the middle of the park had probably seen a lot in it’s time. Lovers coming and going, children wowing over the growing pineapples, gardeners complaining about the weather and waves of visitors to smell the exotic flowers.
Now, the whole building was rusted brown and most of the windows smashed. The council wanted to demolish the greenhouse, claiming it was too expensive to renovate.It seemed dooms day had arrived but there was an uproar from the people and fund raising and projects began to save the greenhouse.

That’s a good take. I wish this glasshouse could be saved, but it looks like it’s coming down. Alas. So sad.

Me too. I know some of the politics involved… and we’ve recently had a change of MP, so who knows what difference that’ll make
