The Waterfront building...


A chance passing of the Waterfront Leisure Complex on the Pier Approach, Bournemouth, and I stop to shoot some images.
This controversial building, acquired by the local council on the first of this month, is due for demolition. Also known as the Imax Building, it opened in 1998, and has frequently been cited as England's most hated building. Residents complained that it blocked sea views across Poole Bay to the Isle of Purbeck. Why people couldn't just move to the side to regain the view is beyond me.
For the record, I've always liked the building...but that's got nothing to do with other people's sentiments.
