Well they granted permission to demolish the old grain silo that I photographed here

in a previous entry, it made the front of the local papers this week, and true to all developers plans, they started virtually immediately. There was quite a few people stood looking at the derelict site on Sunday when I went past. I stood and mingled and listened to what a few people had to say.
It’s funny how whilst I’d heard that it was a listed building, and that it was haunted, and that it held the remains of some clubbers under a floor that had apparently collapsed, oh and had pigeons nailed to its internal walls, I guess these urban myths and legends will be swept away to become someone else’s footings. Funny tho that I found this only minutes after hearing the bit about the pigeons…. I wonder if there was some truth in it after all….csj

Nice shot although a little gruesome! The message is more important, how do these listed buildings keep getting knocked down? Remember the old corset factory with it’s round entrance on the corner of Swallowfields? A great piece of architecture knocked down to make way for a Land Rover garage, it stinks! Sorry having a rant on your blog! 😉
