Latvian Consulate - Chorley - Dec 2014

[coolboyslim]

Ok time for one of my very very early reports lol.

Tourist central but was great has never been at the time. Now its been burned up has far as i know.

I know its been done a lot but hopefully i may have something of intrest we will see.

History this is all i could dig up.

the home of UK’s consul to the Kingdom of Latvia from 2005 until 2007. The building has undergone various changes and alterations over the years. Extensive renovation work took place to prepare the building for use at the Latvian Consulate. This has resulted in a strange mixture of modern styles which are now beginning to look dated

The residence was sold after it ceased to be used by the consul and plans were drawn up to demolish the building and redevelop the land for use as a rehabilitation centre for people with drug and mental health problems. Objections were made and the building has been unused since the planning application was withdrawn.

So sad how downhill this has gone... Even worse now.

What a mess Didn't the children who smashed it up realise that they had a cool place to smoke weed and play pool? Instead of smashing it, why not try and enjoy it? Or is smashing things enjoyable?

Think it depends on the IQ of said kids, did make me sad when Acid Reflux showed me around here, the youth of today....

To be honest don't think there is much left to see at camelot anymore, there was back in 2014 but not sure how much/little of it is left now
