Historic Convents, Nursing Homes Set for Demolition Across UK, India

Several historic buildings are facing demolition across the UK due to safety concerns and the need for modern facilities. In Mangaluru, the Holy Angels' Convent, a 90-year-old structure, will be demolished as it has deteriorated significantly, posing safety hazards and failing to meet the needs of its current occupants. Similarly, the Plas Gwyn Nursing Home in Ruthin will be replaced by a new care home that meets modern standards, as the current facility has been deemed unfit for purpose. In Pontefract, four 1960s flats will be demolished to improve the view of the historic castle, with plans for new housing on the site. Additionally, the Grafton Lodge care home in Oldbury will be knocked down to make way for affordable housing, reflecting a broader trend of revitalizing outdated facilities. Lastly, the Loreto Convent in Llandudno may be replaced with new residential apartments, aiming to blend modern living with the site's historical context.
