Poole’s Heritage Under Attack (again…)
Poole’s councillors are currently considering a plan to demolish not only the old Poole Pottery warehouse and shop (which, if we are honest, is a bit of an eyesore) but also the pictureseque Edwardian pub next to it, the Swan Inn. Right on the Quay, the Swan Inn is particularly noteworthy as it has one of the last remaining traditional tiled facades in Poole.
Developers want to demolish the two buildings to make way for yet another apartment/shop complex - a prospect not welcomed by most locals.
