Forums Forums Wirral Information Ask - Wiki Wirral Most ugly buildings Wirral has to offer

The new asda in Birkenhead is properly ugly!!

Agreed, all the pictures that were shown of how it "would" look made out it was a monster of glass. Not a sodding great breeze block dumped on the traffic lights.

Have to agree and we don't need any betting shops especially in Wallasey village.

I shudder to think what they will build on the old classic cars site which was demolished due to the greedy owners demanding far too much rent.

There is already a planning application with the council to build a Tesco convenience store on the site. It will be considered (ie rubber stamped) by the council later this month but there is still time to register an objection if you think this is a bad idea.

It aint ugly but I think that CSA building at Woodside is a travesty. Civil Service having prime sites with the best vistas and all supported by the tax payer when it should be paying companies having the site and putting money into the coffers instead of taking it out. Most inappropriate, it's about time our lords and masters started getting real.

Surely the Civil Servants who work there are taxpayers aren't they ??

Any shop that has steel shutters out front. So attractive.

that's what i thought too

That's the world we have to live in.....unfortunately !!!

can you name something as secure that looks better???

This is an "ugly buildings" thread isn't it?
Can anyone deny that all these fortified shops these days make the whole area look absolutely horrible?
Of course I know they are deemed necessary these days for security (and presumably to keep the insurance premiums down) but do they really have to be so darned fugly, with seemingly no regard whatsoever to aesthetics, what they make the place look like?
And it may be further OT, but I have to wonder, do they really stop crime? or do they just make it a bit harder to break in (or do they just instead do the crime while the shops are actually open for business?)
Maybe if someone could come up with something to deter robbers that looked a bit better, it might make it seem just a bit less like Gotham City!

St Caths is awful and so is the lilac block of flats in Liscard.

Are these guys tripping who decide to paint buildings these colours, or maybe they have small children who love Balamory?

The lilac colour of Liscard House was chosen by the residents

never liked Bebington Library much.

This place on Borough Road, Does anyone know it's history, surely that wouldn't be built for residential purposes??
