Great Britain St Athan Boys Village, S.Wales (Re-visit) - Report - Mar 09

[evo_mad]

Following on from our visit HERE, we though we'd pop by and see how the demolition was getting on.

CS has done a good write-up on the history side of things, so I'll leave that be and let the pictures speak.

Present on this visit was myself, Hood_mad and Lola.

Valet parking. (yeah the evo got a run-out)

The top building has gone. (the one with the stairs)

Plus the ones behind the monument.

And the toilets that we stormed have gone too.

The building between the changing rooms and the cookhouse has gone as well.

The cookhouse.

The monument.

The church.

No more of the church floor has been ripped up.

Looking over to the Office? / Education? block.

Photogenic chair??

Graffiti.

Swimming pool.

More devastation.

Hood_mad.

Sports hall.

Hope you like the pics, there won't be much left soon.

liking the panoramic shots particularly.

as oldie has said the panoramic shot of the pool is tops.

Not bad for a camera phone. :cool2:

Any word on what's being built there, or is it just clearance demolition?

I've had a look around and can't find much on it. Local planning minutes was one item I found on google, but it just mentioned a site visit by MPs, nothing else.

Saying that, I think we'll find out soon enough as it's coming down at a rate of knots.
