The multi-storey car park is over fifty years old and due to be demolished soon. Its demise had been rumoured when I posted a photograph from the other side in March 2013.
For many years car parking in the upper levels had been free - see my post on Hyde DP Xtra in April 2011.
Unsurprisingly by December 2011 hardly anyone was using the upper levels.
A new branch of KFC is expected to take its place!

From car parking to fried chicken, that's progress for you!
ReplyDeleteBetter an elderly car park than a KFC. Shame on whoever made THAT decision.
ReplyDeleteHaving a KFC doesn't seem like it would improve the area. In my town we desperately need more parking spaces.
ReplyDeleteWhat a comment on civilization!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteI would not call that progress! How about a nice local restaurant instead
ReplyDeleteNot sure that's a big improvement...but I guess the KFC will at least be safer, probably. Especially if you eat somewhere else!
ReplyDeleteA very interesting post indeed, would love to share it with others.
