Re: Re: ‘Dutch Billys’

gunter: what strikes me her is that after the (very deliberate) ‘culture bombing’ of Luebeck by the RAF in WW II much of this stuff – indeed ANY of this stuff – actually survives; it’s almost certainly been rebuilt and that it was done with such care to the historical development of the fabric speaks volumes for German conservation practice. This marvellous thread on DBs just leaves us to ponder on what might have been. Why is ‘development’ in Ireland and GB so destructive and contemptuous of the past?
