Fantastic shot, Fossil.

The change in the skyline is emphatic -- and not for the better.

St. Andrew's Suspension Bridge.

Its quite a strange sensation to feel the bridge sway beneath you.

Are the pokey hat buildings still there :?:

AFAIK the "Pokey Hat" building is the United Co-operative Baking Society's Bakery, now gone as far as I could see.

If you look closely you'll see it's in the process of demolition

Post Office Telephone Exchange Highburgh Road, Dowanhill 1960's

Now converted into flats.

Nice arch detail on the roof

Thats a good example of how conversions of that kind should be done. The exterior of the building is almost identical to that in the earlier photo

Just a pity it isn't actually used as a workplace anymore.

If all work buildings are being turned into flats, where do people actually work now?
