Some great photos there of West Park's last stand against 'change'.
The demolition of asylums in particular represents this conflict of addressing future challenges (in this case housing provision) versus conserving that which grounds us in space and time. The sorry fact is that God isn't making anymore land, and these sprawling structures break every modern regulation in the book. I would love to find an answer that satisfies both camps, but at the moment it can't be done.
It would be interesting to canvass opinion on the ground, what does the local community ultimately want in this supposed era of 'Localism'?! It really is a terrible shame, and I completely agree with the 'castle' comment.
