Yesterday's Papers

And now the YP is no more, Just a pile of rubble on the floor.

 

Demolition of the Yorkshire Post Building on Wellington Street in Leeds.

 

This ugly brutalist structure housed two newspapers; the Yorkshire Post and the Yorkshire Evening Post. It was opened by Prince Charles in 1970 (how ironic) and won a RIBA bronze medal from delusional RIBA judges. It was mercifully put down in 2014.

 

Few mourned.

 

A metaphor perhaps for the demise of physical publishing and declining standards of journalism.
