Postscript: the loss of the Richmond Café

---

The Guardian reports that the great Richmond Café in BA is to be replaced by a Nike store. According to the paper: "The plight of the Richmond has dominated local media since the cafe's insides were gutted last Monday morning. Apparently to ensure it could not be returned to its former splendour even if the local government rules against the Nike shop, the Richmond was emptied of its historical interior, right down to its grandiosely comfortable Chesterfield wingback leather armchairs, in a 3am raid. The movers took the precaution of pulling down the security camera on the front of the building first." Here's a final reminder of what's been lost. We'll resist the temptation to post a picture of what a Nike store will look like.
