You'll have to get in there before the local neds paint a 10-foot cock and use the car park as a bike track

regardless of what the papers say i doubt it will be going anywhere soon as of the last time this year it was still in the process of getting asbestos stripped or they will bring it down with the stuff still in place (H&S would hasve a fiT). Think it will be a while

They finished that a good few months ago mate.
The land has to be handed back to Forth ports by 2012

The demo crew have erected fencing all along the open side that faced the swimming pool,and they were doing something with the motor room things(those 2 grey hoses on the gantry) for the 2 cranes last week,have put sort of scaffolding round them and there was a crane at it lasy week.

The chimneys coming down at the end of the year.

perhaps so gunny but i can asure you they have not completely stripped it off asbestos as the lagging was still on the pipes no more that 3-4 moths ago on the top boilers just can't see H&S allowing that on public health grounds. Perhaps ancillery buildings and exterior but the main hal still requires a lot off work

Is that Indiana Jones making his infamous "Fridge Escape" on the right?

 

[Gunny]

Latest in the paper is they are hard at work stripping the interior.

Bad news is the chimney is goin to be taken down piece by piece.


if it was gonna have to go i was hoping for a big bang.

 

[Gunny]

Lots of open windows about the place now,theres even some scaffolding up very close to some of them------He who dares wins so they say
