About time Len got his statue...

Only this, the original Tizer was miles better than vimpto, vimpto was for posh cunts back in the good old days

That’s a shame because Shena Simon buildings are beauties.

Especially compared to the eyesores that were built in the right background across the road from them in this first picture:

It is a lovely building and also grade 2 listed so nothing will happen to it, I know some of it is flats already but converting even one internal space inside takes several planning requests so nothing will happen to the place, it would cause too many problems for any owner

Also it is haunted in the basement and top floor by a soldier and a woman (top floor was used to treat soldiers in WW1 and basement was the mourge)

Still open but a lot of building work going on around it so it looks closed up
