Yes, I was sad to see the old "Tickitape" building go too.

I was glad when it got new occupants a couple of years back, but they didn't last. Since then it's been empty for ages. It's not blessed with the most ideal of locations right there by the railway. Makes one wonder whether the housing they'll undoubtedly build in its place will be successful either.

I'm surprised it wasn't locally listed, but hey ho, no one stepped in to save it at the time and now it's gone. Spilled milk and life goes on. Hopefully, the former gym opposite will be sympathetically restored.
