More than just post-modern














Recently I was driving past Wisbech and on a nondescript roundabout I saw this 1980s building.  Originally an office block, it is now an hotel.  Not sure who the architect was.

This is more than just post-modern, it seems to be a complete and authentic revival. 

Wisbech is one of the finest Geogian towns in England, although hardly anyone knows this.  The area has experienced excessive immigration over the last ten years, with many of the eastern Europeans unable to pronounce the town's name properly.  This has led to many locals referring to the town as "Wisbekistan".
