Not much left now

Not much left of the hotel now. I was talking to someone at the football today about the place. A lot of memories from that place. More and more houses and flats are being built in the village yet more and more shops are shutting down. The main street now just has a Post Office and a picture framing shop. Even the spot this picture is taken FROM is no longer a shop - it is just a workshop/office. Gone are the newspaper shops, ladies dress shop, mini-market, butchers, antique shop, chinese carry-out shop and others that I can no longer remember. Gone are the tennis courts (3) but they may be making a comeback. Gone are the two putting greens. Gone is the police station. Gone is the railway station. Now there is just a shelter - it is no linger a "manned" station. Gone is the tennis pavillion. It would have been gone many years before before it actually did go as I accidentally nearly set fire to it. I lit a fire behind it but part of the pavillion caught fire. Gone is the boat building yard. a massive area of the seaside village - to be replaced by blocks of flats. Gone is the pier and its associated railway station/yard.
