nodrog.

The Regal/ABC in Hamilton is also away this weekend. Pictures of destruction here. I missed the actual demolition of the facade, I think they did it on Saturday.

I was up there on Friday. Work is progressing on the southern most building in the main group. It now has a new roof, windows and internal floors (and walls etc as well presumably but i didnt go inside). I think it will look rather good when finished. As for worse developments, well you only have to...

I really like it too, like molendinar says, its really simple, and also well proportioned. When you look up at the blank sides since theyve been painted, it almost disappears into the sky.

They contrast well with Captain Brittles aerial shot above 8O . I wouldnt be much use for getting you in to the site! I am not up there much - I...

I am currently working as the landscape architect for the 'Gartloch Village' redevelopment. As I understand it, the developers initially couldnt afford to do any renovation until the new build starts selling. The new build is basically subsidising the renovation, as theres no profit in the latter, a...
