http://www.shiftyparadigms.org/images/Festivals/skylon.jpg
The Skylon, Festival of Britain, London
Built: 1951
Demolished: 1952 by the tories!
Significance: Ohh, loads. Churchill didn't like it - far too modern and socialist for him. Londoners (according to my parents) loved it and indeed the whole Festival of Britain site - but they were generally more modern and socialist than Churchill. Thankfully the Festival Hall is still there. There are (were) plans afoot to rebuild it.

And this is what you can to the left of the Skylon - the Dome of Discovery - also demolished.

That Skylon - the Dome of Discovery reminds me of the Evoluon, which still stands!

Swastika Laundry, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4. The company operated from 1912 to 1987 or thereabouts, after which that building disappeared. They had a big chimney, with swastikas on it, which apparently still stands, but without the swastikas.
