The building is being demolished, but this is marked SAVE, if the Demo. man in his machine reads it.
Is this Terra Cotta ? Could it have been manufactured at the Burmantofts Pottery?

Hi Brunel.
That is a nice feature which I hope is retained, though the date may make it hard to eventually resite. I realise that not everything of possible interest can be kept when buildings are demolished but that feature does look to be worth retaining.

I expect the people in there are "Remain " supporters, and won't allow people to "Exit"

Re: Signs of old leodis
This worn 'Please ring for attention' caught my eye today (June 9 2016) on the Templar Lane side of the long-vacant British Road Services building whose boarded up main front is on Lady Lane (the building has had many uses in the past). I wonder where the bell was to ring as there seemed to be no sign of remains of anything that looked like a bell near the wording (there is a blocked door a couple or so yards to the right but even that had nothing that looked like it was once a bell)? If the bell was in the blocked area below the sign then as that is just above the pavement it would have been very low down! The first photo is a close-up of the wording and the second shows its location on the wall behind the red car.
PS. As far as I'm aware the building is a listed one and so should not be demolished, but it's a shame that it has been closed for so long and the main front has been allowed to fall into disrepair.

This building has a long history, may be on SL somewhere.
