• The new Princesshay eyesore and all it's PFI misgivings.
• Debenhams
• Burnthouse Lane..Rifford Road and all of the adjoining roads..all of it!!!!!!!!!!!
• erm the Civic Centre is ugly...
• Anything post WW2
• The ugly BT building near the library.
• Anywhere selling burberry to chavs.

• most of the new buildings going up in exeter are a sad sight, lets hope the new princesshay scheme can change this trend for poor quality ugly and bland architecture which the towns planning dept. seems to love so much
• debenhams is uuugly
• That stupid statue outside the Sony shop in the high street which cost a ridiculous amount of money (£65,000)that could've been spent on more pubs/clubs and entertainment venues! Ice rink!! Bigger cinemas etc
• bosten tea party
• All the 60's moderist crap theat depresses the hell out of you and your mates as you head out of the city centre.
• The vast majority of the High Street... oh hang on, the Germans did that!
• Most of the "modern" high street.

• Tower block of college
• princesshay. aka the disgusting concrete wastleand posing as a shopping centre. though there are plans to flatten the entire thing and build a proper shopping centre! yay!! also those crappy temporary buildings opposite the main post office that got put up after the war..!
• the civic centre is really ugly with too many windows, like a big grey shoebox with holes in.
• Marks and Spencers, the university complex.
• exeter college and west exe technology college (st thomas high school).
• THe paris street bbus station is ableak and dismal place in the evening. Knock it down and rebuild in the same central position , but use the space to create more "jnside areas" for passengers.
• The whole of Princesshay, most of Sidwell Street, Renslade House, Debenhams, Dingles, Maynards. All the public toilets.
• Egg Boxes Paris St. Police stn and Courts
• Debenhams - Rip it down and start again... Bigger, Higher, Wider!!!
• The Innovation Centre
• cathedrial, it's overated
• PLYMOUTH
• HotHouse/rococos/glue factory
• hmm the uni? no, possibly some of those really ugly places down fore st
• Arena club, most other clubs cos theyre shite. And please blow the fuck out of Rileys!!!
• St. Michael's and All Saints Church, if it wasn't for the Peregrine falcons living on it.
• Debenhams
• HOTHOUSE
• The underground toilets near The Cathedral (preferably with the crazy old lady inside)
• Hmm, where to start... Exeter suffered from bad concrete post war builings, although no-where near as bad as Coventry. How about the enire guildhall centre, there's nothing worth going to in it apart from the veg stall opposite Sainsburys anyway.
• Civic Centre (did they have an architect?!)
• The Bus station, its a disgrace, right in the centre of town and all that!
• topshop/topman
• I agree about debenhams having lived in its shadow, although it is a brill place to let off the carnival fireworks.
• Renslade House, nasty office block on Exebridges roundabout , home of driving theory test ampongst other banalities, recently proudly claimed to be Fully Let
• the civic centre. the council should take more pride in its city. disgraceful.
• Most of Sidwell street now looks like some advert for fifties & sixties architecture gone wrong. Pre-fabricated, post-war concrete crap, permanently urine stained from one too many revellers heading back to campus after closing time.
• The library. Without it, everyone would get a much better view of the gorgeous Rougemont Gardens.
• Not one but all of that horrible shopping arcade behind the High Street- Blue Boys? What a sight for sore eyes!
• The shops north of the cathedral, it could be a boulevard with great vistas but instead it's one big concrete slab.
• debenhams. for being so tall
• Debenhams in the High Street. It's bloody horrible and wherever you go, you can still see it.
• Most of the shops in Fore Street!! Not all but most look soooo tatty!!
• The crappy shops opposite the main post office the sixties have a lot to answer for, of course the Germans started it.
• The Job Centre - I can't explain how disgustingly '70s it is.
• The DHSS office in Heavitree Road and the Job Centre in Queens Street both 1960's bland architechture
