So, not being from the U.K. I was curious what "Grade 2" meant. I figured it had something to do with being an historic building and when I asked Google, keeper of all knowledge, I found:
"Grade II: buildings that are of special interest, warranting every effort to preserve them"
What is this "every effort" they speak of? What's the point of preventing demolition if the building is just going to be allowed to collapse on its own in due time anyway? Just curious...
Every effort..., that is a laugh! Most of the ones I have visited are worse than this one. That is England and it's crazy rules for you.
