The changing face of Nottingham over the decades has seen some major redevelopments - out with the old and in with the new. Some of the city's prominent buildings - considered no longer fit for purpose - have been bulldozed and replaced by new builds more in keeping with the times.
You can't stop progress - nor can you stop campaigners venting their anger when they disagree with the decision to raze historic buildings to the ground. That said, by granting a building listed status, it can throw a spanner in the works.
That was the case earlier this month when Nottingham's former central police and fire station in Shakespeare Street was given Grade II-listed status, saving the historic buildings from demolition.
