Changing Face of Hungate

Here is one I took earlier this year in March, probably not much change since then except that I think the displays on the boarding has been changed. Work has been progressing on the flats in the background despite the recession whereas the flats next to the Woolpack building seem to be stuck in an almost finished state. The planning request for the Council Offices has been withdrawn, supposedly on the objections of English Heritage who said the development was not in keeping with the surroundings. They did not need English Heritage to tell them that, the citizens had already told them that what they had planned was a complete "carbunckle" to borrow a phrase from Prince Charles.
