SIR - Over the years, Worcester City Council has shown a remarkable ability to destroy some of Worcester's finest architectural gems, only to replace them with a number of horrendous concrete edifices such as the Worcester college, the former Giffard Hotel, the old Co-op stores and Elgar House. However, as I was passing through the former Lychgate the other day, I noticed six large monochrome murals depicting the old Lychgate at the beginning of the last century were being hung on the wall of the newly renamed Cathedral Plaza. As for a lighthouse in land-locked Worcester, the city needs such folly like a fish needs a bicycle. Perhaps at the earliest opportunity, the city should knock down any unsympathetic concrete building in order to tidy up the city's skyline and reveal the city's towers, spires, belfries and turrets.
L SPITERI,
Worcester.
