So this brings me to the point.... was this one of the first buildings on Alexandra Parade??? Hi Panda This is the only question I can answer. It does look like they were the first residential buildings on Alexandra Parade, have a look at the 1892 Town Plan . That site should come with a health war...
That looks suspiciously like it was taken from my hometown hungryjoe! I'm on the train there at the moment :) Prestwick? "Sunny" Girvan :) I think that photo's taken from Girvan beach, as when you're as far north as Ayr/Prestwick the southern side of the Craig is much less steep, and the ...
That looks suspiciously like it was taken from my hometown hungryjoe! I'm on the train there at the moment :) I didn't make it out til after dark yesterday, but here is a photo of the milestone on Paisley Road West: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7166/6559473445_184f39739a_z_d.jpg Facing west it read...
There's one pretty much across the street from my flat, hidden behind a tree and sitting in a recess in a wall, on the south side of Paisley Road West near the junction with Copland Road. I'll take a photo when I go to the shops later.
It's another nibble-down. It's a year-long contract, so the latest end date will be next May. Asbestos stripping will follow the perimeter securing, so any time now. They're issuing a regular newsletter to the local residents, depending on your definition of regular. Good to know, thanks! Will need...

They met on the job and were married and worked ...
Was there a fire in one of the blocks last night? I can see some indication of a fire from Hillpark. Haven't heard or seen anything to suggest a fire, but living round here makes you immune to sirens! Wouldn't be too surprised though, as the 1930s tenements across the road were set on fire pretty m...
A bit. They've also extended the working day from 8 till 6 to 7 till 7. Next one up (or down) is the block that's not in your photo. Excellent, more chances for action shots :) It looks like they're making rubble platforms (no idea what the technical term is) around the one nearest Broomloan Road, ...
Looks like things are speeding up a little! http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1282/4707304340_78ba206d79.jpg I took some video the other day but haven't figured out how to rotate it so it's the right way up. Was very surprised to see them work almost a full day on Sunday - are they running behind sched...
Can't believe I didn't have the camera on me when they were working. Considerably less artistic than Josef, but here's my tuppence worth for today. Hope no-one (particularly Crusty Bint) minds that I've been flinging all of my daily snaps into the Glasgow Demolition group on Flickr! http://farm5.sta...
