Sir, - What a sad sight Thomas Prior House is! What was once a glorious Victorian building has now been reduced to a mere facade. I have to wonder what the planners are thinking and doing when the planning notice posted on the site last June described the development as "the demolition of a small part of the existing school building". You can imagine my shock and surprise on seeing that the building is now virtually demolished. Shame. - Yours, etc., Frank O'Shea
