Lost buildings of 2018 the Royal George

As in most years, in 2018 there were many changes to our built environment, and we lost a number of buildings. If only there were more hours in a day it might be possible to document all of these, like the Loughborough Archaeological and Historical Society used to do, when buildings were at threat of being demolished. Sometimes they were able to save them, but more often, they were able to record the history of the building and some of the artefacts that were found during the demolition and excavations prior to the new builds appearing. 

Anyway, there aren't enough hours in a day, but I did manage to capture some of the fate that befell one of our typical 1930s buildings, the Royal George pub on the corner of The Coneries and Chapman Street.
