Missed the joke but I Know what you mean - none the less, even the vandals didn't manage what these guys are doingThere has been a lot of interest since it closed, yes, keeping the doors shut has been a bigger job than when it was open but, not everyone going in was set on destruction.

I wondered if Demoltion Services were doing it. They did Yorkshire Chemicals on Kirky Road. They're customers of mine.

Would do away with the dust - they could use some decent damping-down sprinklers on this site!

Re-Opens tomorrow!The way it was looking this afternoon it'll be full again by morning - a very loud rushing sound heard from Little Queen Street and the bottom end seen to be, erm, wet, actually a few feet possibly, with gas bottles bobbing about slowly making their way up the service ramp.Guess someone forgot to tell Cardi to get the tap-thingy turned off before they dug the pipe up

Well the news is always going on about how many swimming pools of water leak away each day. This is one reason why.

Or in this case - filling up, The noise suggested a large pipe and I saw nothing to suggest the contractors had even noticed. Bewilderment, perhaps a phone call tomorrow mind, sinking excavators - good photo oportunity

I'm without a decent camera at the moment - but the site looks to be worth a visit to record it urgently - . it looks quite surreal with the large roof supported on spindly columns only.
