Kind of on 1JKz's subject... i'm sure I noticed activity on these buildings a few weeks back.... hopefully might finally be refurbished after all these years.

There's a lot of work been happening in those houses recently, looks like someone is doing something to them - not just knocking them down. @Goldilox walks past them most days.

I just visited for the first time in 2 years. It's looking very different already.

OK I grew up in Hillcroft park.

So the Police HQ being gone and mad building work is a biggie for me.

Walton High School. Side gate is gone. The one the kids from Wildwood took to go down bridle lane. (That might have been older and I just never noticed).

The Crossbow (as was) turning into a Co-op - happened last time I was in town. But the old co-op turning into a pub was new.

The end of town near the old M&S turning into a wasteland.
