  Whilst I agree with you, Barry, it's better here than in Japan where they have no concept of preserving history. Over there, if an old building is in the way, it's either bulldozed immediately or they wait for the next earthquake to destroy it; our Japanese friends, every single one of them, look at us like we're gone mad when we talk about preserving history.....when two of them were over here earlier this year, they couldn't fathom out how The White Horse had stood where it does since 1347 without being removed for a newer building! And, on a previous visit, two of our friends went to see Shakespeare's birthplace in Stratford Upon Avon without realising that it was the actual house and not a modern replica!
