Plymouth Nostalgia | Bretonside bus station, did we lose something special?

A different view of Plymouth’s old Bretonside bus station, taken from underneath shortly before demolition.

Looking along the length of the boulevard, the glass tiles overhead and the rows of supporting columns reveal just how striking the original design was.

Even in its final days, there was a certain beauty to the old structure. From this angle, it’s easy to imagine how impressive Bretonside could have looked if it had been restored to its former glory.

Did Plymouth lose something special when Bretonside was demolished?
