The Hidden Glasgow Forums

Dem-Master banner was put up on the listed frontage today, so demolition of the rear should commence sometime next year.

Looking good there Brian, I wish we could look after all our heritage as good as that.

I have no idea what the hold up was Mori, but Morrison`s pub closed early 2010 due to persistent flooding and the building to my knowledge was vacant and sold to developers for demolition, I then heard no more about it till now.

Graphical House has been earmarked for demolition for at least 2 years now, we tendered it in early 2010.

No surprises there then Egg Man. The question is why do they punt out this kind of money to third rate entertainers when Glasgow is abundant with good groups etc who would happily play for free or expenses only to promote themselves.

As anyone who uses the Newsbox store next door knows, they are probably the fastest serving shop in Glasgow, I'm reliably informed that they hardly missed a beat while there was an inferno raging through the wall. :D That sounds about right Peasy as you can see in Mori`s vid that folk are still goi...

Coz its asbestos ?

Gotta be John Maclean for me, a guy who gave not just his life for the working class, but also his freedom.

Anyone who walks through that site is damaging it. Anybody who hasn't been should be asking themselves why they would want to go there. What makes your case so special that you need to go and add to all the photographs which have been taken so far. And thanks for looking at the site without noticin...
