Leave Stonebow house alone! I used to hate it, but over time have come to love it for what it is. It's strange and charming – it just needs someone to do something interesting with it. Look at Tate Modern: an ugly old power station until someone had the vision to reimagine it as something new.

I echo the views of many about the Stonebow in York, a tragedy in architectural terms. Almost as bad, because of its situation on the bans of the Ouse, and its incongruous height, is the Park Inn, near Lendal Bridge. It is brutally ugly, the rooms are shabby and it blights views all the way down the river. Please knock it down!!

I believe that the Fountains Abbey should be restored with a new roof. Why is a ruin so sacred? I believe that York Minster was restored after a fire. The restored Fountains Abbey could be returned to the Catholic Church.

Stonebow House is the most depressing example of public grandeur I can think of, and I have East German relatives.

whitehall landing flats in whitby, resembles the warsaw ghetto not in keeping with the historical buildings that whitby is loved for.

The Pavilion building which Charles Smith has mentioned is what was built upon the terrain of the Pavilion hotel: the original hotel building was demolished long ago, I understand.

Former 3M Building in Bracknell, then the rest of Bracknell

The new georgian theatre extension in Richmond- steel framed plate glass windows don't say 18th century to me - demolish it or use it as a building society which is obviously where they got the design. You can't paint your front door without planning permission here so how did that thing get built right on the main road at the entrance to the town? well , better emigrate to Australia now in case I am identified!
Fiona
Goodricke, Vanbrugh, Langwith and Derwent colleges at York university. Knock them down before they get a stupid preservation order on them and we have to live with them for ever. They were the worst buildings ever designed, and they're shit to live in too!

eland road stadium make a good allotment with all that s*** on it at the moment
Rosalyn M. Schrag
The multistorey high rise dwelling in Bridlington - just ruins the Victorian look of the town - it's a monstrosity.

Not a friendly place to be The Brunswick Centre Scarborough
Chris Maude
What should go from the east coast? Well Hull would be a good start!!
Charles Smith
The Pavilion building which was previously the Pavilion Hotel, Scarborough once owned by The Laughtons. Not a pretty sight when arriving in Scarborough.
Rachel Clayton
Yes, Stonebow has to go!!!!
Pete Sinclair
Although not really a building, the TV mast on the Abbey Headland in Whitby is surely a must for demolition.
Dave Gorman
The prison-like structure called Coppergate. It looks horrendous - and by Christ, they want to build a second one!!

Those houses in Bootham Crescent - A community football pitch would be a good replacement !

Ok folks we know you don't like Stonebow (who does), but now we want to know what should go from the East Coast!
Andy Payne
That concrete horror down Piccadilly. Oh, and Stonebow!

Stonebow, York,a blot on one of the fairest cities in Europe

Stonebow in york, yes I agree, the futurist in scarborough, yes I agree, and Pauls Malt near Malton, what a blot on the landscape!
Dr Janet
The defunct Coop Milk office building on Lawrence Street near Melrosegate -- an eyesore for all those entering York from the east...and those of us who happen to live nearby!
Jamie Wright
Selby Police Station. Though only opened in the late '80s, it looks like a 1970s plastic egg box, not unlike the recently demolished Sheffield Town Hall extension. One of the cheapest examples of a public building in the North. Incidentally, leave Stonebow House: it's a fine and interesting example of concrete building. It may not be best suited to York but then I doubt Fairfax House lended itself well in relation to the Shambles when built
Damon Scott
Hmm let me think, Stonebow house, Ryedale house,the old fiat garage next door, the old polar garage and the building opposite (not the tax office) Maybe one day when Coppergate II gets sorted some of those architectural greats may be lost forever

Adam, York
Futurist Theatre in Scarborough, its awful, delapidated embarassment. A big black hole would be better than what's there at the moment... and as for the backs of the buildings which over look Scarboroughs South Bay... don't get me started. Just take a stroll along the foreshore and look above first floor level and you'll see what I mean - why not force the owners to paint them white or a selection of nice mediteranean colours ? It would make the place look a million times better.
Harry
Lasie Croft in Appletreewick, a 1960s dwelling that looks more like a wedge of cheese. Built by the same architect who designed much of Milton Keynes.
Helen Cherry
Chris has the right idea. Stonebow is the ugliest building ever, and coming from a citizen of Japan, that's some criticism. ;-)
Oliver McNab
All of northway, scarborough inc the new police station, it all looks like a 60's urban jungle!
Moat House hotel, York
It runins the veiw across the city, and looks like a concreate cereal box.

Frog Hall in Layerthorpe (York). Either demolish it or re-open it.

The whole of Stonebow, then start building it again from scratch.
