- pmalynin 2y agoYeah sorry I was specifically referring to Christchurch Greyfriars. Basically it was as the article said, I was staying in the area (near uh a pub Samuel Pepys I believe) and was walking around and that was definitely one of the things that caught my eye. Maybe such things aren’t as common as I thought
- buildsjets 2y agoI spent a bit of time in Budapest, something like 80% of the buildings were damaged during WWII and neglected behind the iron curtain afterwards. Even walking around today it is very common for a building to have a restored facade but a lot of historical damage on the sides.
