Buildings in decay.Byline: David Swift David Swift (born April 3 1931, in Liverpool, Merseyside, England) is a British actor. He was educated at Clifton College and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where he studied law. He made his television debut in 1961, and since then has rarely been off the screen. , WE SHOULD all be concerned about the destruction of Georgian buildings in Liverpool. The most notable current case is Jamaica House, in Dale Street. It would appear that developers can buy an old historic building and then allow it to decay and become unsafe. At this point, when the building is seemingly beyond hope of restoration, it is demolished de·mol·ish tr.v. de·mol·ished, de·mol·ish·ing, de·mol·ish·es 1. To tear down completely; raze. 2. To do away with completely; put an end to. 3. to make way for a more profitable development. While not against progress, I do think the council should be stepping in to prevent this "demolition by stealth stealth Any military technology intended to make vehicles or missiles nearly invisible to enemy radar or other electronic detection. Research in antidetection technology began soon after radar was invented. ". It appears that our proudly-gained award of World Heritage status has only been the spur to the worst form of property speculation. I have appealed to James Purnell MP (Secretary of State), to consider this "demolition by stealth" practice and to prevent the imminent demolition of Jamaica House. David Swift, Litherland |
