OOHHH



Mr Sam

Thanks Sam! Honest, i tried that (well, i used Sharon's method below yours) but it came out with red x disease.

I think it may be as i was linking to the first page of the image host, not the image itself.

heres another go:



YASSSSS!!

I actually quite like the building. I've been walking past it on my way to work for the last year and a bit and watched it take shape. I like the extensive use of sandstone cladding which at least makes it more attractive than most new builds.

I'm told the building features a rise and fall stacking car park sorta mechanism.

I've seen worse. (Damning with faint praise, I think that's called?)

Mr Sam

Maybe its something similar to this but indoor and with less expensive cars;

I make it my business to keep up to date re car park technology.

Its a simple stacking system - not a million miles away from a heavy goods lift really.

car drives in, platform lowers and tilts into pit. there are 3 machines for 6 cars. Its german systems - they seem to corner the market. wohr and klaus multipark are the 2 different systems

hope this is of interest!

I was scanning some old negatives from 1991 last night and came across this.

Very interesting John R.

Have you got any more photos of the original building from this site? There were plenty from earlier in this thread, which were very useful, and im sure some of yours were there also.

Cheers!

ps - you should get out and photograph the new building

These are the only ones I have found so far. There may be others but I have boxes and boxes of old negative and slides which are not chronologically organised.

I just do a lucky dip in the box every now and then and see what comes out.
