Recently I have noticed an increase of new buildings reusing the facade of what was originally in its place. For example on Oxford Street in London, a new set of modern apartments are being constructed behind a preserved front piece, combining the old with the new. Similarly, the same is happening in the photos above with a building in Newcastle Upon Tyne. This will mainly be because of the architecture being grade 1 listed and so planning permission will not be granted to tear the entire site down.
