No Attention To Detail Anymore

Noticed this today at Wycliffe Hall at the start of the Banbury Road I noticed the detail on this down pipe, the date when this was made 1913.  Why don't builders today put this detail and effort in to there work anymore?

I am going on a drive to Moscow shortly with a couple of mates from work, so I have put out an SOS on the blog for any locals to continue with the Daily Photo while I am away, and Vanessa has offered to give you all a different view till the 12th of July, which I am very grateful, so I am now looking for another person to look after the site from the 12th for a week.  While I am away you can see what I am up to here.
