Demolishing Myer's Lonsdale Street store, looking south towards Little Bourke Street - the building is being gutted so a new shopping centre can be built in the middle.
Upon receiving a tip from a friend about a city-ordered demolition of an historic Italianate apartment building on W Liberty Street in the city's West End, I decided to go out and investigate. This demolition beggars belief, it is both irrational and short-sighted, as so many buildings in a similar neglected and abandoned state throughout surrounding neighborhoods, some mere blocks away, have been renovated and are now highly desirable and vibrant places, but this building will become yet another vacant lot, a victim of the city's deaf, dumb, and blind policy of wholesale demolition of any structure that has been neglected, regardless of potential future or historical value. However, it did appear that there had recently been a fire on the first floor, but buildings in far rougher shape with far more interior damage have survived and been restored. This Italianate-style three-and-a-half story building was constructed as apartments in the 1870s, and originally housed the city's then-large German immigrant population. It survived urban renewal and the widening of Liberty Street, only to become neglected by a slumlord (whom are well-protected by the politicians in the city), and then abandoned, finally having the city put out an order for its demolition. It's disgraceful that in this day and age and the lessons we should have learned from the mistakes this city has made, that we are still throwing all of our heritage and history into the landfill.
Must have been in the late eighties of the last century, just before the new city hall in The Hague was built. View On Black

Roads are very well conditioned, country sight is just beautiful. and destroyed properties are less and less to be seen!

The now-demolished Parkside County Middle School, formerly Cramlington Secondary Modern School.
Looking west from the cycle track south of Middle Farm Court. The flat-topped building the left of the shot was the kitchen, the pointed roof of the Main Hall is next with the glass roof of the octagonal Year 5 block in the background.
There buildings were demolished to clear the way for a contemporary design, New Faze Development project. But that project is taking quite a while. It has just been an empty lot for a couple of years now.
The building on the left housed a Rexall Pharmacy--first Aldrich, and then Reycraft. The sign on the larger building was probably for Stan's Men's Shoes.
A selection of buildings near the old State Theatre and Revelation Baptist Church. These buildings, located on Central Avenue, Bauer Avenue, and Wade Street, are a small fragment that remains of the old West End that was cleared wholesale by urban renewal in the 1960s. Today, these buildings house predominately low-income families and individuals, and are located in close proximity to the revitalized portion of Over-the-Rhine. The generally good condition of these buildings does make them worthy of preservation, while the amount of vacant lots, suburban-style throwaway (largely industrial) buildings, and parking lots in the immediate surroundings are ripe for redevelopment that can capitalize on its proximity to Music Hall and OTR. Hopefully these buildings get the attention they deserve and are preserved, as no protection is currently extended to them.

According to records, and reminiscences of around the year 1847, services were held at the various houses, and in July, 1848, the Wesleyan Church Sunday school was established. A slab room was erected where services were held, and it was also used as a day school. At the end of 1850 the building of that church (Wesleyan) was commenced close by, and on March 15, 1857, the opening services were held.

“The anniversary services of the Meadows Wesleyan Methodist Chapel were duly celebrated on Sunday and Monday last, when, the weather being all that could be desired, large congregations attended.

During the evening Mr. D. Simpson informed the meeting that it had been resolved by the trustees to remove the present chapel down from the hill to a piece of land lately purchased for that purpose in a more level and central position at as early a date as possible.” [Southern Argus 19 Apr 1877]
“the foundation-stone of the new Wesleyan Church, Meadows, was laid by Mrs. D. Simpson in the presence of a large concourse of people. The Rev. S. Knight, President of the Conference, then briefly addressed the people, and an adjournment was made to the old chapel, where some ladies of the congregation had provided tea. A public meeting followed.” [Adelaide Observer 15 Sep 1877]
“the opening of the new Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, Meadows . . . The morning and evening services were delivered to crowded congregations, the chapel, though capable of seating 180 comfortably, having to be provided with seats down the aisles to accommodate the people. . . The building, which is very neat and commodious, is situated in a central and convenient position, being almost in the centre of the township, and has rather more than half an acre of land attached to it, on which it is the intention of the Trustees to erect a shed for the accommodation of the horses of those who come from a distance as soon as funds will allow.” [Adelaide Observer 12 Jan 1878]

The result of the voting was 72 for Meadows, and 31 for Bull's Creek. The name is to be Meadows circuit, and the manse is to be at Meadows.” [Chronicle 5 Aug 1899]

On the 8th of May 2016 the last tower block of Norfolk court was brought down with explosives. This was the scene the following day and the dust was terrible.
Dwarfed by the emerging concrete canyon in the background this lovely old pub on Much Park Street, Coventry is not open for business but remained defiantly in situ due to planning permission .... it was supposed to have been retained but accidentally on purpose - just disappeared.
