I used to enjoy going down Langdon Road, past a small office called Eureka.
To me, this office represented a clever architectural blend of modern and old.
A Victorian building, perhaps and orangery, had been converted to office use by the clever introduction of steel and glass to form the main entrance, greenhouse roof etc.
I felt this was a microcosm of sensitive building treatment.
On Sunday, I went along the road to see my favourite building. Imagine my dismay when I saw that the building had been demolished!
In a sentence, we have lost Eureka!
What is going on? Don't the Bromley Planners appreciate the subtleties of the town's heritage outside of the main listed buildings and conservation areas? Surely, buildings such as this can be put to a suitable alternative use.
