Sounds of scaffolding being dismantled out the front again. I'd noticed that the roofers and builders working on the doctor's surgery seemed to keep odd hours, skipping mornings or afternoons or disappearing for a few hours before coming back, and also working most weekends. Eventually I realised they didn't work at times when the doctor's actually seeing patients, which varies depending on the day of the week - this is a satellite surgery to the main surgery in a nearby suburb, so although reception is open all day, the doctors come and go.
The surgery's closed on Thursday afternoon, which explains why nothing got done this morning but now they're back.
Apparently mattresses are expected to last around ten years. I've had this one for fifteen, and it wasn't exactly the most expensive one in the shop to say the least, so I suppose it's reasonable that it's giving up the ghost
Browsing through planning applications for round here on the council's website. This place got planning permission for conversion into flats in December 1984.
And on the other side of the road, just past the railway bridge, there used to be a cinema! Permission to demolish it was granted in 1958
And back in 1963, some lunatics called the Church Army wanted to build a ten pin bowling alley in the next side road along, which consists entirely of nice Victorian residences
Not surprisingly, they were told to GTFO
There's a low-key apartment block on the site now, which was what they finally got permission for in 1971. Before that, it was a Church Army hostel, which it seems they were intent on demolishing no matter what they ended up putting in its place - there's another mixed residential and retail application that got knocked back in 1964

Premier Inn mattresses are marvellous. You should get one of them.
