The North Riding Infirmary donated to the town by Ironmaster Henry Bolckow in 1864 was demolished in late 2006 to make way for a much needed Aldi and Travelodge (ahem)
The portico was saved after pressure from locals, although initially hidden behind road signs the owners have still not seen fit to remove the numbering and clean it up properly
Got a pleasant surprise when driving past this the other day, all cleaned up! Wonders will never cease! Not perfect, but a damn site better than before.
Actually, upon a second look, it doesn’t appear to have benn cleaned up, just painted over. Is this correct?
