Sorry I appreciate the Cinema buffs interest in the place and also the history of the place which is fascinating. But as a building I thought it was a manky lump of a place before it caught (was set on) fire. Looked smart in it's early life no doubt, but latterly an eyesore.

I share Fossil's sentiments on the Road Closure - between that and the M74 works it is taking me an hour to get from Charing Cross to Hampden in the rush hour.

That's true.
I had developed a whole new way of thinking about getting back across the river to the South side :)

:( Yet another charming old building goes up in flames, or just enough to render it unstable, and condemned as a danger to the public that has to be pulled down immediately. How sad. Did anyone find out just how the fire started?

Ach , there's a wee pond there now in the middle. Something is leaking into the site. Might have the makings of a feature :)
