Derelict in Bingley

The once proud head office of the now defunct Bradford and Bingley Building Society, now lying empty except for the bats that are preventing its demolition. J Sainsbury bought the sight planning to build a supermarket for the town but the financial downturn put a stop to that and it is now waiting for the bats to be relocated before it can demolish it and then sell the land. Goodness only knows what will happen to it, but I fear it won't be utilised for some time yet.

I decided I had to capture it from this view ( the woods in St Ives) as the trees will almost obscure it when in leaf , and it may not be here by the time the leaves fall.
