Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2007 9:13 pmFacinating stuff HH 
The sort of thing which should done more often instead of completely doing away with fine buildings.
(Although it's a shame the wee red vans will never again run in & oot of there).
What's the cost difference in retaining the facade, and adding a new interior, as opposed to a totally new build ?

Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2007 10:13 pmYeah I thought it was about that 
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2007 6:45 pmNow thats what I call facade retention. It must be one of the few times a Glasgow developer/builder has lived up to that point in the contract....so far. For buildings of architectural interest if one cannot refurbish or convert a building then the next best method should be facade retention.

Taken 10 years too long if ye ask me. While I'm here, please don't sell a listed building to Stefan King ever ever ever again!

Another tunnel?
Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 5:22 pmI worked here for a couple of years in my yoof as a postie. If there ever was a tunnel, it's probably been blocked up with a mixture of long lost drunk postmen and undelivered mail. an interest in getting pished was almost an essential requirement to get a job there.
