that the point in time at which they should have stoped screwing with it and left it alone.

Broadgate looked so much better with grass and plants instead of all the concrete it has now

[@apathyintheuk265]

Do you honestly think grass and plants would be appreciated by the inhabitants of our city today? The countryside is green, towns and cities should be brick, concrete, glass and steel.

[@DiRtYLaWs2007]

Glad the road is gone now though.

Pre enrichment days. Looked wonderful although the city planners managed to damage Coventry more than the Luftwaffe

A pure lesson in change is sometimes just not better. Arrogant stupid city planners all living in Warwick or Leamington Spa, no doubt.
