There's a lot of new developments going up around Hamworthy. I've been meaning to go and have a look around for a while.

More houses being built at the Carter's Quay development off Blandford Road, Hamworthy. A 3 bedroom house costs around £310,000 so not really affordable, but as they are near the sea I guess that inflates the price

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.
I've uploaded this to show the new development going on in Bournemouth, on what was previously a car park.

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.
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 new fence behind me is finally completed around the perimeter of the new homes that will be under construction soon.

The old Pump House proudly stands afore of the redevelopments surrounding it.
Slowly but surely, new developments are gathering momentum down on Greaty. These new homes occupy a plot between Dryden and Wilbraham Streets. I have to say however, something a little more inspiring wouldn't have gone amiss. Looks reminiscent to the 70's classic 'Split Level' houses you used to see!

In and around Hamworthy on a sunny day with my new lens. All the photos are straight out of the camera, just to see how it performs. I'm really pleased with it and am getting used to the focusing. Hamworthy Poole 29.12.2013
