Come on down! Images tell story of regeneration in the last century

Here is another trip down memory lane which could have a modern-day slant in the Bay in the not too distant future.
The old photographs come courtesy of the archives of Torquay Museum and all have a demolition theme.
Fast forward a few decades to now and the former Crossways shopping centre in Paignton town centre has come down
The same fate will soon befall the former Debenhams store building on Torquay harbourside.
Both sites are being cleared to make way for regeneration projects planned for the high streets of Paignton and Torquay.
Ironically, one of the old photos is of the beginning of the end of the much-loved Marine Spa and Ballroom overlooking Torquay harbour - that site at the moment lies dormant as the once-home of the Living Coasts marina aviary. Its future is still up in the air.
A Torquay museum spokesman said: "These latest pictures have a slightly sad theme - demolitions. That said all these photos generated heated discussions and a big number of engagements on our social media, with the first image breaking a record for us by reaching 150,000 people on Facebook alone."
The photograph, pictured at the top of this page, shows the last houses on Stentiford Hill in February 1965 shortly before their demolition. It gives a true impression of the steepness of the hill running down to the centre of the town. Another shows the demolition of Southlands House and Haldon Manor, built for Sir Lawrence Palk (Lord Haldon) in April 1964. The houses had been approached by the road leading up from the Terrace near St John's Church (its tower can be seen on the left).
And then you have the end of the Marine Spa as Miss Illingworth, then Mayor of Torbay, is pictured helping to demolish the building in 1971.
