Buxton on an Autumn Day

As a change from the Goyt I spent an hour or so wandering around the town with Mrs BW and my camera. It was a glorious autumnal day. Sunny but cold and for a change no wind.



Sadly the crescent is still empty, as it has been for the past sixteen years. It is on the verge of being refurbished, but as we have been there before, I guess we will believe it when we see it. At the moment it stands as a crumbling monument to short sightedness, ignorance and inertia.

Last time I was there about 3 years ago I thought they were going to turn it into a hotel.

Richard - they still are with Spa, and posh massage palour and I believe some retail units. It just seems to take an awfully long time.

I had tto do a double take there. It looks very much like the Kelvingrove/Park Circus/Woodlands area of Glasgow.

ill Man - Architecturally it is a magnificent building. Just needs to be looked after.
