Only one worth saving looks to be the old school, would be befitting to leave the entrance names etched in stone and school name.
Sometimes you become gobsmacked at the condition old buildings are left standing, should have been demolished years ago, now used for who knows what...
Awesome to see the bad calls, those days you just looks at the situation and say "no go"!
!BEER to wash down the bad taste.
There are lots of wrecks still hanging around here. Some are demo'd and some left. Why.. who knows?
Perhaps front facade is planned to be used to preserve the history, building new behind. On that note they should try stop graffiti which damages old brick work.
As you say who knows except town planners. Wait for the town crier perhaps he will let you in on the secret eventually.
