We paid a visit to an old workplace of mine which closed down in 2005 and awaits redevelopment.The team consisted of Myself,Johno23 and Timewarp.It is a former supermarket which has been known locally as"PRINCES"for many years.In latter years until it closed it just sold mainly clearance lines of food,toys,fancy goods etc.The buildings are currently in the first stages of demolition and are being stripped of recyclables and asbestos.Usual asbestos caution advised
The site is earmarked for regeneration and the £16 million plans include 40,000 sq ft of office space,17,000sq ft of retail area,restaurants,cafe bars and 25 eco friendly homes with roof gardens and will be approx 4 storeys in height.It is to be called Sadler Square following the results of a public competiition.Anyway here are some pictures of the current site.
