Last December I did a short post on the imminent demise of the cricket pavilion at Exeter Cricket Club. Yesterday the demolition works began.
Half gone
The new pavilion will be built on the land where I stood to take this photo. The old pavilion will be replaced by student flats.
Is this good or bad? I can’t tell from your text whether you mourn the old pavilion or whether a new one will be a huge benefit to the club. Presumably the club made a tidy sum selling the land to Exeter University. Maybe it is a win-win arrangement.
I think it is sad that the old building has gone. The ground is owned by a family Trust who I guess have made some money but as you rightly say – the cricket club can carry on and will get a new modern pavilion.
