Mr Guest. You leave me at a dis-advantage due to your lack of identifying yourself. But yes, I am that old.

Didn`t think you were that old Hugh.

Just goes to show how inferior modern buildings are by comparison to what the Victorian ones were. They dont seem to last five minutes do they? A few decades and they are ready for that big ball of Jenny's. I wonder, had the previous academy not burned down, would it still have been in use today? Going by the old photo's, it was a classic building. Only time I saw it was when my mother took me up to see a smouldering ruin the day after the fire where it once stood in all its glory.

Is it true the Academy is a listed building and therefore can't just be demolished? Seems like a 1960s monstrosity to me and it would be improved no end by a wrecking ball.
