Manor Nursery, Angmering ... about four months after it closed down in July. It will eventually go for building land.
This is the robin that used to visit me by the till to feed on the bird seed there, without any fear ... and he would follow me around the entrance tunnel hoping for worms. Sometimes it seemed like all he wanted was some company. I can tell by the mark on his wing, and by his attitude ... each of the resident robins had some unique feature.
This is the only robin I saw up there today.
Century City is a 250 ha suburb of Cape Town, South Africa that was constructed as a mixed use development including entertainment, residential, retail and office components. Development began in 1997. Investment thus far exceeds R10 billion. It is located 10 km to the north-east of central Cape Town along the N1 motorway and is traversed by numerous waterways, wetlands and canals. Table Mountain can be seen in the background.
Just in case you didn't understand the comment on the previous pic - the brick building in that one is now on the left and we're looking north across Southwark St. towards the Bankside 4 development - now re-branded and marketed as "Neo-Bankside", a luxury housing development (designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour) with apartments selling at £1m - £6.5m.
When Tate Modern (see its tower is peeping behind the street sign on the right) opened in the year 2000 the land on which this development stands was mainly run-down commercial and industrial buildings dating from the C19 and the building on the extreme right (the Blue Fin Building) was still a 1950s office block housing the Ministry of Transport. Over the succeeding 13 years, thanks primarily to the impact of Tate Modern and the Jubilee line extension which runs nearby, the area has been transformed - but not without cost.
When planning permission was first granted for this development in 2007 the developer agreed to provide over 8,000 sq.m of affordable housing "off-site" (ie. in other parts of Southwark) and 34 affordable "shared equity" units within the development itself. Construction began in Jan. 2009 months after the Lehman Bros collapse and the takeover of HBOS (the funding bank for the development) by Lloyds. However development and marketing of the site has continued throughout the subsequent recession and the development is now in its final stages. Block E (under construction on the left) is the final phase of the development.
However in late 2011 the developer returned to Southwark Council and the GLA with a proposal to vary the terms of the original planning permission. He requested that the requirement for 34 affordable housing units on site be dropped because it was unlikely that they could make them affordable by any sensible definition of the term. Southwark Council agreed to this, with the proviso that the developer offered funding for at least the equivelent number of units to be provided off site. The sum final agreed for this was £9m, which the local authority hopes will fund the provision of 44 housing units. But up to now the developer himself has only managed to find sites to build half the amount of off site affordable housing required in the original planning permission. In addition the developer sought and was granted permission to change the use of Block E from residential to office use.
It's not surprising that local community groups now wonder if it will ever be possible for local residents doing ordinary jobs (or having no jobs at all) to afford to live in these areas in future.

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.

North Wall Avenue is a new street at the Point Depot. There was a plan to connect it by a bridge over the Liffey to Capital Dock on Sir John Rogerson's Quay.
North Wall is east of the inner north side of Dublin, along the River Liffey. It contains the entire north side of Dublin Docklands and includes the International Financial Services Centre, Spencer Dock, and further east the main part of Dublin Port.
The area is dominated by a combination of older housing, dockland activities and new development through the Docklands Strategic Development Zone Planning Scheme, including extensive construction of new retail, residential and office spaces.
Transport in the area includes the Dublin Area Rapid Transit (Docklands railway station on Sheriff Street), the LUAS (red line stations George's Dock, Mayor Square, Spencer Dock, and The Point, and 8 Dublinbikes stations (at Custom House Quay, City Quay, Excise Walk, Lime Street, Guild Street, Convention Centre, New Central Bank, and The Point).
Hoardings along Rodney St announce Phase 1 of the regeneration of the Heygate Estate in Southwark - re-branded as Trafalgar Place by its developers Lend Lease.
An international company of Australian origin Lend Lease developed the athletes villages for both the Sydney (2000) and the London (2012) Olympics. Their approach to the redevelopment of the Heygate Estate has not been without controversy - see:
