The former South Glamorgan County Hall makes it on to C20 Society #TheRiskList 2023. Designed by JCR Bethell, it was completed in 1987 and deserves a far more productive future than demolition to make way for the Cardiff Arena. #RetroFirst
We haven’t saved her. She’s being destroyed right now. Not even salvaging the bricks by the look of it. Pointless destruction of a good building. #retrofirst

The news that the City of London are coming round to the idea of ‘retrofirst’ and look likely to include it in their draft London 2040 city plan (to be issued for public consultation next year).
