Loughborough Town Hall

 

In the late 1980's, Toyota were looking to build a car factory somewhere in the English Midlands.

Loughborough, desperate to diversify from their core industry of manufacturing whoopee cushions, spent all their cash reserves on remodelling the existing Town Hall into a replica of the Sapporo Town Hall. The results were startling, as you see, but alas it was in vain. Derby got the factory.

Two years later, the town hall burned down in a mysterious event, a week after upping their Fire Insurance cover.

Bonus - Google will no longer be keeping a backup of the entire Internet.
