In fairness if we're using Cov Baths as an example, mid 20th century construction didn't exactly excel either

We should have gone with stone or wattle and daub, with thatched roofs for the stands
Or maybe just limestone blocks in a triangular shape.

Perhaps but the baths are getting on for 70 years old and like most public buildings were not well maintained

Yeah but that's the coating on it possibly cellulose or two pack, just looks badly faded by the ultra violet I think.

Went on the stadium tour yesterday morning, which was interesting. Have to say when the stadium is empty it does look really tatty, especially the cladding.

The baths was an architectural gem, it's a cyring shame what has happened to it. You don't know what you've got til it's gone and all that...

There’s a park just down from us that has 4 bins around it and there’s 1 bin that gets overused while the other 3 don’t ever seem to fill up. What happens when that 1 bin gets full? It’ll be stuffed up to the holes, and then people will just put their rubbish/dog shit bags on the floor around it.
