I suggest the impotence to the King was greater than the importance of a bloody shopping mall to Newbury today.  Contrary to your opinion, I'd be staggered if this current shopping carbuncle is still standing in 600 years time.


Is it true that the king was impotent or was that a Freudian slip.

Your answer to the question implies you think it would!

I think if it did survive more than 150 years it would become a well regarded local building. Surving that long would increase its chances of surviving much longer.  Problem is I don't think architects build with this in mind. They design down to  cost. The result is little what we would call 'classical' architecture.

I have to agree with you here, but I understand that materials are recyclable.  As building requirements change, this is understandable.
