Bus Station Demolition 1992

I have many memories of Newton Abbot bus station spread over some decades and, like many townspeople over a certain age I still regret its passing. The irony is that the phenomenally ugly 4-storey office block built on the site lasted just 25 years. It is still standing in 2020 but has been empty (or almost empty) for quite a while now - and should have been demolished but by some curious twist of fate or idiocy (or both?) would appear to have been reprieved. It seems someone thinks it would make an ideal health and fitness centre; that someone presumably wishes to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals from thinking people who cling to the notion, no matter how tenuously, that Newton Abbot could once again be quite a nice town - and have its proper bus station back.
