Stop the Demolition of the Victoria Linen Works Kirkcaldy
Stop the demolition of the Victoria Linen Works and retain and redevelop the building.
Why is this important?
The Victoria Linen Works building on Clair Street, Scotland’s last surviving linen factory, is a testament to Kirkcaldy and Fife’s industrial heritage. Now it's to be destroyed for a cut and paste Farmfoods Store!
Generations of locals were employed there, and many gave long-service to a company with a paternal approach to its workforce. Their hard work and memories are to be erased with the wreckers demolition ball, lost forever and replaced by nothing.
Stop the demolition and instead redevelop and retain the building. Farmfoods or any other store would then have a more prominent standing and reputation within the town along with the retail value of the building being higher as well as the surrounding neighbourhood.
The destruction is completely short sighted and a complete loss to everyone.
Don't destroy, renovate and grow.
