Aidan,
Thanks for a bit of support! Also I did'nt know about the suggestion that the buildngs may be due for demolition. As a result I am going to contact English Heritage and propose that they are listed. Not because they are of particular architectural merit but because I fear that Albert Square would be ruined by some monstrosity if they were replaced and I think it is one of the most attractive city squares I have ever seen as it is in its current format.
I don't see the logic of where architects are coming from they seem to think along the lines of "If you can't create something attractive in its own right build something ugly instead as opposed to something which is pleasant and unobtrusive"
