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...
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.
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.

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.

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.
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!

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.
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.
Aerial photographs of Brightwell Lakes, Martlesham, Suffolk, showing the major new housing development taking shape on land immediately south and east of Adastral Park.
Brightwell Lakes is planned as a new community of around 2,000 homes. Outline planning permission was approved in April 2018 and Taylor Wimpey acquired the site in 2021, with construction being brought forward in a series of phases.
Several individual housing developments can be seen taking shape within the wider Brightwell Lakes site. These include Deben Park at Brightwell Lakes and Auster Place at Brightwell Lakes, both being developed by Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, together with Hemingway Rise, a development of new homes by Denbury Homes. Further phases include Brightwell Lakes Parcel W6, where Taylor Wimpey has secured detailed planning approval for another 93 homes.
The first phase of Brightwell Lakes comprised plans for 317 homes split between two areas: 195 homes on the A12 parcel and 122 homes on the Ipswich Road parcel. The scale of the development is particularly apparent from the air, with completed houses, streets under construction, prepared building plots, new roads and large areas of previously agricultural land being opened up for later phases.
Brightwell Lakes is intended to become considerably more than a housing estate. The masterplan includes a new all-through school, community facilities, employment areas, shops and places to eat and drink, sports pitches, allotments, play areas, open space and a network of pedestrian and cycle routes.
Immediately beyond the new housing is Adastral Park, one of the most important telecommunications research sites in Britain. The distinctive main laboratory buildings and communications installations can be seen prominently in these photographs.
The site has a remarkable history. This was once part of RAF Martlesham Heath, an important experimental airfield associated with aircraft and armament testing. The General Post Office acquired part of the former airfield in 1968 for its telecommunications research operation, which moved from Dollis Hill in London. The new Post Office Research Station at Martlesham Heath was formally opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1975.
Following the separation and privatisation of British Telecommunications, the establishment became BT Research Laboratories, later BT Labs. In 1999 the site was renamed Adastral Park, the name recalling the RAF motto Per Ardua ad Astra – “through adversity to the stars”. Today it remains a major centre for telecommunications and technology research.
These aerial views therefore record a particularly interesting stage in the continuing transformation of Martlesham Heath: former military airfield, telecommunications research centre and now the setting for one of Suffolk’s largest new residential communities.
Key names:
Brightwell Lakes – Deben Park – Auster Place – Hemingway Rise – Taylor Wimpey – Denbury Homes – Adastral Park – Martlesham Heath – Suffolk.
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!

This construction site will include the historic Molson Brewery Building. More retail, like we don't have enough. Beer is good tho...
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.
The old nursery gardens on Greenhill Road have recently been developed into new houses. In this view, you can see some of the show homes. True northern names have been applied here with "Rufford" and "Appleton" models on show here.
The development is named "Ollerton Grange" which on the face of it, bears no resemblance to the history of the plot.
