A couple of people relax on a piece of grass that lies between older buildings to the left, and new construction to the right, near Tyler Street. This whole area, that once contained a character-filled art deco bus terminal and surrounding curio shops, is being brutally torn to pieces in an attempt to “modernise” the city. Nearby, a 26 level tower has just been proposed by developers behind the historic Rose and Crown Tavern. A large sign on the front of the small building near the centre of the picture encourages prospective purchasers/developers to build a high rise building that will dwarf those on either side of it.
