Willful neglect?
The old Boots chemists store on the corner of High Street and Tower Square (former market place) in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent.
This Victorian structure with a nod towards Georgian style, was built on the corner of the old market square (to the right), many of the buildings of which date back to around 1816.
The company signs were fixed to the arched pediments, evidence of which can still be seen on the left or High Street side.
Unfortunately, this building is indicative of the poor state of much of the High Street and surrounding area, which seems to have occurred as shoppers have migrated to the city centre of Hanley.
