Sir Sean Connery has returned to the Edinburgh street where he was born 80 years ago to unveil a plaque in the regenerated area.
The James Bond actor visited the site of 176 Fountainbridge, a block which was demolished in the 1960s.
The plaque has been erected at Springside, a new housing and office development just yards from the star's childhood home.
The Minnippi Land Development, is in some scrub area adjacent to the old Cannon Hill Drive-In, the Drive in is now a Bunnings Warehouse. Some of my mates growing up would refer to this area as Saunders and would ride mini-bikes there. It's not far.. but I never went bush bashing in there like I did in the other local bush areas. A little sad to see it developed for housing; there are still areas of parkland close by.

I woke up early and went for a walk while there were not many people around, just a few joggers and people who are still going to work. It was zero degrees but sunny so lovely light.
Then back home, breakfast and work from home!

Nicely patterned paving for this important area. Seats pleasing, although vulnerable and the chains a good idea, but do collect rubbish.

This caught me by surprise when I came across it while on a quest to locate examples of street art. One thing that I did notice was that some drivers appeared to be somewhat confused by the layout … I say that because there were two minor crashes while I was photographing the area.
The Apple Market in Waterford has been the main location for trading since the early 18th century. Recently the area has been transformed into a contemporary urban quarter following a multi-million euro investment.
A specially constructed steel and glass canopy costing €1.2m was constructed as part of a €6m
urban renewal project undertaken by the local council of the area.
The structure is billed as being the only one of its kind in the country. The triangular steel and glazed canopy is held up by nine steel columns, positioned to facilitate certain traffic in the area.
A special reflective material developed by Medite in Co Tipperary is used on half of the 1,400 square-metre canopy, which is over nine metres above the street at its highest, creating a 'mirrored ceiling' effect.
Room [on the top deck of a] 101. The removal of the old 22-storey NatWest Tower on the corner of Colmore Row and Newhall Street is almost complete, taking the best part of a year. In its place a new development will rise (26 storeys) to 346 feet. More information here: www.birminghampost.co.uk/business/business-news/new-image...
The Charlemont Square project is due to be completed in 2020. This mixed-use development is the second phase of a city centre regeneration project.
My understanding is that there will be a total 79 social housing units.There will also be 184 private residential units, bringing to 263 the total number of homes in the complex, in addition to significant commercial office space and retail units.
Earlier in the year it was reported that Amazon had made an offer to developer Sean Reilly to lease the entire 200,000 sq ft of office space currently being developed.
Just on a quick, lunchtime visit to see progress in the construction. it was an overcast day as one can tell from the 'flat' lighting on the floor.

New Buildings For Old
Traffic is diverted, pedestrians are frustrated, bus stops are closed, and a once popular pub, The Duke of York, has been shut to allow a major redevelopment opposite Victoria Station in London.
It has been branded Nova Victoria, embracing five new buildings occupying an island site. Usage will include retail, residential, as well as public amenity space. This private development, due for completion in 2018, is being carried out in tandem with Transport for London's upgrade of the Victoria tube station.
This view comprises three landscape exposures merged vertically to take in the space to be occupied by the new complex. If I live long enough I shall repeat the exercise when the buildings are complete, for the sake of comparison. Here is a view from a couple of years back when The Duke of York was still open. It seems that the frontage is to remain, but all behind will be new.

This newly constructed 5-plex in Pond Inlet stands as a vibrant symbol of community investment and support, made possible by the taxpayers of Canada.
With its bright orange exterior and modern design, the building provides essential housing in one of the country’s most remote Arctic communities. Set against the dramatic backdrop of snow-covered mountains, it reflects a commitment to improving infrastructure and quality of life in Nunavut’s northern settlements.
My understanding is that there is a large development under way and it will include what is to be known as Tully Park centered on the ruins of Tully Church and Graveyard. According to the developers Tully Park will be 22 acres in size, roughly the same as Dublin’s St. Stephen’s Green Park. Being the flagship park of Cherrywood, Tully Park will serve as a facility for the entire development, containing everyday walking and cycling routes and providing environmentally-positive connections. Lehaunstown Lane and the existing hedgerows and tree lines will divide the Park naturally into four zones:
A Heritage Zone with Tully Church & Graveyard, High Crosses and their environs, with paths to explore the monuments.
A Biodiversity Zone with lots of native wildflowers, shrubs, trees and informal paths to wander.
A Play Zone that includes a large play area for children, a skate park and an amphitheater area for open-air plays or performances.
A Passive Zone with lawns meadows and wooded areas make up the majority here, with winding paths and seating areas.

The Harper at 1919 14th Street, part of the building boom on the greater 14th Street corridor in Washington DC.
Just for a comparison with the last upload..the view the other way around in the 1920's.
The banner for "Carters Quay" is the new development on the site of Pilkington's Tiles that will reach down to the water's edge, so hoping we will be able to walk to the sea when it's finished!

Sir Sean Connery returned to the Fountainbridge, Edinburgh where he was born 80 years ago to unveil a plaque re-erected on a new development which replaced the block demolished in the 60's.
We had lunch on this day and talked about many things including his work on the animation film "Sir Billi" which I did the legals on.
It's now 23.45 and the very loud noise is still comming from the Tesco development, there is no contact information displayed. The man at the gate says they are behind schedule and need to catch up, he will not contact anyone from Patton construction group who are the main contractors, but I can call in tomorrow and talk to a manager.
Tesco development is behind schedule so the main contractor breaks the working hours which are part of the planning to get ahead, every little helps!
Model of the early sixties project meant to transform the town centre.
Brutalist in its conception it never caught the hold of the town and was heartily disliked.
Much of it was demolished and repurposed over the next fifteen years.
Now of one looks south of the Willis building the trees have softened the frontage which once offended much of the town.

The bottom of Parliament Street is now dominated by new residential developments. The building you see here has recently been completed following a period of hiatus.
The Cains Brewery can be spotted in the distance. There had been rumours that a micro brewery would set up shop there; this is yet tom come into fruition. Other businesses such as a Crazy Golf and Cyclists Cafe have opened on the site over the last year or so.
This construction site will include the historic Molson Brewery Building. More retail, like we don't have enough. Beer is good tho...
