Longford? From a distance it looks suprisingly well. St. Mel’s Cathedral is pretty striking.
However you are obviously joking since the main street is a mess. It represents the lack of planning there has been in some regional towns. I suppose if people can’t even park in an organised fashion, how can there be any pattern in their houses.PVC doors are equally ugly. Especially when people cant be bothered to remove the transparent plastic covering and leave it to the elements to gradually wear it away.
I think its true that many people just don’t think about the impact choosing PVC will have on the building when renovating and this is a pity. Plus the design of most of these windows and doors is horrible and doesnt even attempt to emulate the old style.
People just dont care about keeping the character of their old property. Its a Celtic Tiger Post Colonial Morderist thing I suppose.
As regards new houses with fake classical bits – I love them. They also represent the tackiness of Irish society today. We must embrace the tack.
