It is possible to walk past or even inside this supermarket many times before noticing that it occupies a grand old London Fire Brigade building, opposite Liverpool St Station.

Oh yes, but it is a Tesco now. I remember it when it was being converted.

Now, I always think of it as a Tesco. It’s architecture is submerged by its day-to-day function, and I never notice it.

It is architecture belonging to an economy and society that has completely disappeared, while the fashion for engaging in the fantasy and romance of history has been drowned by its surroundings and its modern peoples.
