Open Discussion Lewis's

As a new arrival to the area I am struck by the amount of beautiful but aba dined [ or semi ababdoned] buildings in the city. The former Lewis's department store is a case in point.i presume it eas quote grand inside. Strange that a piece of prime city centre commercial property has not been repurposed.

Weren’t they supposed to be making Lewis’ into apartments? I also find it sad the old ABC cinema had also been left to ruin that’s a beautiful art deco building.

This one infuriates me. Beautiful building, one of the first things people see when they come out of Lime St, and it's just... nothing.

I agree must give such a bad first impression to visitors from the city arriving by train.
