look back in anger

Cassiobury House (Watford, Hertfordshire) from BoredPanda article

Toronto. Many of us come from British roots. We often think about the olden days when thinking about ‘over home’. Sadly, nothing rarely stands still. Like here and elsewhere, many old places give way to the new. Historians are constantly battling ‘progress’ to save historic buildings/ruins/structures.

Some we think deserve saving, others get a casual shrug. Les Jones sent me a link the other day that hit home. On a site called ‘BoredPanda‘ Les discovered an article by Hidreley published four months ago called, “3D Renders Of England’s Historical Country Mansions And What Replaced Them (7 Pics)“.

While not photography related (other than the 3D reference) , all the country mansions and replacements are represented here by photos.

The title of this post is a take off on the play and movie of the same name – Look Back in Anger. I must have seen the movie, or a poster for it, way back when.
