I am not overly impressed by the new multi-storey car park, however the Riverside development will look very good when its completed.

Agreed. At least Shrewsbury tried to make theirs (now renamed Riverside Mall) in keeping with the rest of the town.There is character in new buildings but only if money is spent on the exterior. Shopping centres, by and large, are just warehouses and appear to be built the same way.
Victorian architecture will be rolling over in its grave.
I'm not denying new methods have been created when it comes to new builds and the speed they can go up but by'christ there's no style; no individual features; no character; no interest; no thought; no, well NOTHING, it's just a few bricks topped with metal (usually grey) sheets and that's that, how nice!?
Stafford could learn a thing or two from Liverpool. A beautiful city with an amazing mix of buildings old and new. Some of the new buildings are quite spectacular but don't look out of place amongst the lovely historical ones.
This area of Stafford could become the pits of the town, each time I go past the site, I'm breathless at the thought of how bad this could end up looking.
A huge wall of metal sheeting, it looks like a modern prison building at the moment.
If this is development/progress then i int a fan.
I feel sorry for the town.
They tore down masses of pretty victorian buildings (with some very dubious practices to get tennets out in some cases) to build Liverpool One! Whole streets worth!
Crummy, would be the best description.I don't know what the area was like before Liverpool One was built, however I do like Liverpool One.
I don't mind that design, there's a small element of thought that went into the outcome (problems aside), at least they were trying!If it blocks the view of the Borough Council building as I drive on Queensway then its a thumbs up for me.....
