I was surprised nobody wrote to The Argus remonstrating against the demolition of the Lewes Road bus garage in Brighton.

I don't know why the building wasn't listed because it was a fine example of art deco architecture, with some attractive art deco motifs and stone reliefs above its window frames.

And, of course, there are the historical links of the building's location, namely, the Lewes Road bus depot (formerly of Brighton Corporation Tramways) riot during the General Strike of 1926.

Surely, the old premises could have been refurbished at a fraction of the cost of its replacement?
