AS an inner-city resident who is fortunate enough to have a good view of one of Newcastle's finest heritage buildings, the T&G building on the corner of Watt and Hunter Streets, I was sickened this week by the sight of graffiti inside the tower at the very top of the building.
Over the past six weeks the building has had scaffolding erected around it so that window repairs can be effected and this was no sooner completed than one (or more) of these graffiti grubs has no doubt climbed the scaffolding to access the roof, then the tower, in order to deface this beautifully maintained old building. I'm sure their chest swelled with pride as they viewed their masterpiece of craftsmanship.
