goodbye Oxford multi-storey

goodbye Oxford multi-storey
The old community of St Ebbes was demolished in the 1970s and replaced with depressing architecture like this. Then forty years later, the new stuff gets demolished for something else, whilst the former inhabitants have been displaced and still mourn the loss of their childhood haunts.

Studley
What pea-sized brain thought this was good
And changed a lovely neighbourhood,
Where families lived and breathed and ran
Down to the fish and chippy's van.
3 years ago. Edited 3 years ago.
Isisbridge club has replied to Studley
A handful of councillors on a committee
Destroyed this quarter of the city,
Replacing the "slums" that were people's homes
With brutalist precincts and parking zones.
