A few more pictures showing how the monstrous new Jury's (Labelled 'Jurys' on the building) Inn is ruining more views around the City...
Looking north from Exeter Bridge -
the classic view of the Silk Mill and the
Tower of St. Mary's utterly trashed!
North Parade, with the hotel appearing above
the rooftops of the early 19th century terrace
To add insult to injury, two of the rare weeping ash trees near the new hotel have been felled. According the City Tree Officer, the first one was removed because of an infection of Gannoderma, (a bracket fungus), the second one because it lay at the site of a lay-by on the access road for the hotel, now being built. The tree officer said he wasn't able to make a case for its retention as this too had another fungal infection (how convenient!). The developers wanted to remove the remaining two weeping ash, but the tree officer did manage to persuade the hotel owners to save these - but for how long?
The view along Darley Grove to the cathedral tower has also been completely ruined by Derby's latest carbuncle - stand by for pictures of this.
