such a shame to see that go, stunning plaster work there, really amazing. But I'm not suprised about demo starting, however great the plaster is / way the building is waaaay beyond repair, it would cost triple to do it up then what it would cost to knock it down and start again :x

 

[PowerSurge]

It is a great shame to see a place like this in that condition. Just makes you wonder why the local councils let it happen

 

[vanishing days]

thats the building next door theres a post up on here for that somwere

 

[PowerSurge]

Walked passed this place the other day. The back end and the roof looked in very bad shape. It's a pity but I dont think this building will last too much longer

 

[vanishing days]

DEMOLITION HAS STARTED IN THE LAST FEW DAYS ONLY HALF THE SITE LEFT

I have a belfast sink in my kitchen; unfortunately it's a rather poor modern version, not a hefty old one but it's still quite nice.

The old building where I used to work which is now derelict ;-) has loads of belfast sinks in, including a rather nice double one. They wouldn't let me take them thou
