Quote ="vastman"The Hepworth gallery is a shrine to one mans ego Mr BOX (not Bren in this case).
No one wanted it, no one cares who Barbara Hepworth was, no one will visit it, it's a white elephant. Had the demands of themasses actaully have been considered it should have been a swimming pool or dare I say a Community Stadium ho hum.
However it's there now, no point crying over spilled milk we will have to make the best of this pointless carbunckel! I'm fairly sure that it won't profit as a Sculpture Museum alone and will have to widen it's remit - perhaps a RL hall of fame?
Yes of course it needs painting, it's hideous enough as it is so it can only help. A nice magnolia would suit.'"
Happy soul aren't you!
A swimming pool is being built, and a community stadium too subject to planning permission being granted. It isn't an either or situation.
