New buildings, old buildings

Instead of looking at what we've lost, let's look at what remains. This is probably my favourite building in Chritchurch. I'd love it if we built more little characters like this.
The new container shops in Christchurch, part of the re:Start development. I went to see these just before Christmas, nice but too many clothes shops. Certainly feels a lot safer that being inside a mega-mall, and there is a good mix of open space and buildings. The fact that these are temporary structures adds a sort of holiday feel to the precinct, but I worry at how these shops will fare during the winter. 
Beautiful old B&B in Worcester Street.
