@SAVEBrit @HistoricEngland @thegentleauthor Always in favour of retention of heritage buildings as what they are replaced with is ALWAYS inferior in design and build.

@professorvaness @MorecambeWG It most definitely is!! You are making a fabulous job of it!!

[Dudley Hippodrome FCG @DudleyFcg]

@Goshikkugojira @TheatresTrust @SAVEBrit @C20Society @CTheatreAssoc Nothing at all. Not one artefact from inside and not one art deco feature from outside. Gone, obliterated, without the proper historical recording which was a condition of the planning permission. And who will hold DMBC to account? No-one.

@Bradford_Live @HeritageFundUK @HeritageFundNOR Wow! That was so fabulous originally.

No happy ending for Dudley Hippodrome. Thank you to all of you who have supported us over the years. Thank you to Andy Clee for this photo of the Hippo's last moments. Good bye old friend.

@ArtDecoist Beautiful simplicity.

@disheartened_gy @save_duke @bclmdirector @C20Society @dudleymbc @hbap1924 @HistoricEngland @luhc @SAVEBrit @WMHBT @TheatresTrust @WeAreBCR @HeritageFundM_E Sadly, the Hippo is not listed, despite our efforts.

[Dudley Hippodrome FCG @DudleyFcg]

And "eyesore" boards (been there for decades) come down. How can DMBC demolish this? Original 30s Crittall windows. @bclmdirector @C20Society @dudleymbc @hbap1924 @HistoricEngland @luhc @SAVEBrit @WMHBT @TheatresTrust @WeAreBCR

@_Alastair_C @AlanWal81489059 @C20Society @dudleymbc @hbap1924 @HistoricEngland @luhc @SAVEBrit @TheatresTrust @WMHBT Precisely.

[Dudley Hippodrome FCG @DudleyFcg]

Just a reminder of what is to come ... at best with finances as they are! DMBC think we don't know what will happen. 😡 @C20Society @dudleymbc @hbap1924 @HistoricEngland @luhc @SAVEBrit @TheatresTrust @WMHBT

[Dudley Hippodrome FCG @DudleyFcg]

@_Alastair_C @midlandtram @dudleymbc @dudleyzoo @BCLivingMuseum Let's hope one does get built. However, it's the protection of a landmark, iconic building which was at the heart of our campaign.

@save_duke @bclmdirector @C20Society @dudleymbc @hbap1924 @HistoricEngland @luhc @SAVEBrit @WMHBT @TheatresTrust @WeAreBCR @HeritageFundM_E In the face of adversity but yes, we are passionate people. 🥰

@save_duke @bclmdirector @C20Society @dudleymbc @hbap1924 @HistoricEngland @luhc @SAVEBrit @WMHBT @TheatresTrust @WeAreBCR @HeritageFundM_E 🤣🤣 you have to laugh but that's the kind of mentality you are faced with. You have achieved great things there! 💪 Keep fighting.

@save_duke @bclmdirector @C20Society @dudleymbc @hbap1924 @HistoricEngland @luhc @SAVEBrit @WMHBT @TheatresTrust @WeAreBCR @HeritageFundM_E Cultural Philistines and vandals with their eye solely on the pounds most of them. Is that underfunding issue top down? Glad you give 'em sth to think about! 😅

[Dudley Hippodrome FCG @DudleyFcg]

@save_duke @bclmdirector @C20Society @dudleymbc @hbap1924 @HistoricEngland @luhc @SAVEBrit @WMHBT @TheatresTrust @WeAreBCR @HeritageFundM_E Yep! DMBC breached its own planning conditions on application to itself to demolish its own property. It will punish itself - apparently!

[Dudley Hippodrome FCG @DudleyFcg]

@save_duke @bclmdirector @C20Society @dudleymbc @hbap1924 @HistoricEngland @luhc @SAVEBrit @WMHBT @TheatresTrust @WeAreBCR @HeritageFundM_E Worrying.

[Dudley Hippodrome FCG @DudleyFcg]

@save_duke @bclmdirector @C20Society @dudleymbc @hbap1924 @HistoricEngland @luhc @SAVEBrit @WMHBT @TheatresTrust @WeAreBCR @HeritageFundM_E Absolutely. Govt devolved powers to incompetents and crooks. 😡

[Dudley Hippodrome FCG @DudleyFcg]

@save_duke @bclmdirector @C20Society @dudleymbc @hbap1924 @HistoricEngland @luhc @SAVEBrit @WMHBT @TheatresTrust @WeAreBCR @HeritageFundM_E Unbelievable. There must be hidden agendas here.
