As I sat eating my cake (morning) or tiramsu (afternoon, how decedant is that in Yorkshire), the view out of the racecourse window was of the old Terrys chcolate factory.
Sadly no longer making choccy products (the future wasn't Orange. Sorry) as it was the first few years of the model railway exhibitions tenure at the site, the building stood vacant for a while and has now been converted into apartments.
Looking at the balconies, I wondered how easy they would be to add to a Metcalfe warehouse building?
On the one hand its a shame that the building is no longer used for its original purpose, but at least its found a new lease of life, albeit being made into apartments that most of us will never be able to afford. But those balconies spoil the lines somewhat.
