Demolished Demolition Gone

The current Fischertor city gate was built in 1924, after demolishing the remains of a gate in this place dating to 1609.
The 1609 gate was actually a modification of a 1328 gate. The 1609 gate was nearly completely destroyed in 1703 during the War of the Spanish Succession, slowly rebuilt, but closed in 1770 due to lack of traffic.
As you can see from my middle-of-the-road point of view, there is still not too much traffic in 2022... 😁

The Château de Pierrefonds is a majestic and beautiful palace which has weathered the whims of kings for hundreds of years and is certain to be a favorite of any Paris visitor.
Original built by Philippe d' Orléans in the 15th century and demolished on the order of Louis XIII in the 17th century. 200 years later Napoleon III ordered that Château de Pierrefonds be rebuilt as an imperial residence. This work was undertaken by one of the greatest designers of the day-Viollet-le-Duc, and it is often cited as his greatest work.
The Château de Pierrefonds features a permanent exhibition of the masterpieces of 19th century ornamentation produced by the Monduit workshops. These expert craftsmen restored a wealth of historical monuments, worked extensively for the Great Exhibitions of 1889 and 1900, and helped to create the Statue of Liberty.
Château de Pierrefonds rises majestically out of the Compiègne forest. It is both imposing and spectacularly beautiful, with particularly lovely grounds. Enjoy a relaxing stroll through these tranquil gardens for free
Found in an abandoned hotel somewhere in Germany. Since the roof is completely demolished there is water all over the place. The building is literally covered in mold and all types of funghi. Even the doorframes are dripping wet. An amazing experience for man and machine (the air moisture is a trial for your camera and lenses).
Aldham, Essex – St Margaret and St Catherine
The church is situated in Aldham, Essex which is about 6.5 miles from Colchester, the nearest large town.
Built in 1855, it replaced an older Medieval church situated about a mile away that was demolished a year earlier.
Much of the building materials come from the older church, water basin (Piscina), Porch timbers, Doors and some of the Pews were built using the wood from the old pews. With the addition of a West Tower and Northwest Vestry, new materials (such as Bath Stone) were used in this construction.
The Architect was Edward Charles Hakewill, who was responsible for designing St John of Jerusalem in South Hackney and St James in Clapton both London churches as well as the restoration of a number of Suffolk churches.
The East window, dedicated to Philip Morant, who was a rector from 1745-1770, also Essex Historian and the Chancel North window were designed by Ward and Hughes.
It is possible that the dedication of St Margaret and St Catherine refers only to the bells and not to an earlier dedication, records do not show this fact.
There are in the graveyard, two Commonwealth War Graves plus two other gravestones of Soldiers that died in WWI.
This will be the final posting from this wonderful church.

The remains of a stable wall of the former Hawkwood House (long demolished) and now part of Epping Forest.
Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand.
The city suffered a series of earthquakes between September 2010 and January 2012, with the most destructive of them occurring on 22 February 2011, in which 185 people were killed and thousands of buildings across the city collapsed or suffered severe damage. By late 2013, 1,500 buildings in the city had been demolished, leading to ongoing recovery and rebuilding projects across the city.
Kin'unkaku (錦雲閣) is a pavilion built after the Meiji Restoration on the site of the demolished Iwakuni Jinya (陣屋 administrative headquarters).
The site for Jinya is now converted to the Kikkou Park (吉香公園).
Iwakuni had been part of the Mouri's Choushuu Han (長州藩 Choushuu domain) but had been ruled autonomously by the Kikkawa (吉川氏), a subordinate of the Mouri.
Iwakuni was planned as a castle town using the Nishikigawa as the natural moat of protection. Jinya was built at the foot of the hill, on which the castle was constructed. The water in the photo is an inner moat for the Jinya compound. Kintaikyou was built as the main entrance to the Samurai area on the narrow strip between the hill and the river.

After demolishing a Goldfinch, the Sparrowhawk had a little look around to see if there was anything else to eat.
I'm pretty sure that terminator look says ' I'll be back '.
And this was the scene early in the morning, a couple weeks after I took the interior shots, taken from the same spot as the previous photo.
I received a message from Cody last evening that two of the elevators in Warner are coming down, very few of these prairie giants remain......and this just happened to the last elevator row that was left in Alberta.

I spotted this derelict building and thought it would be a great grungy photo backdrop. But I didn’t get in quick enough and it’s fully fenced and mostly demolished now. Photo for posterity.
Hinksey Path, South Thamesmead.
Part of the wider Thamesmead Estate, built 1967-74 in a Brutalist style.
This part of the estate (low rise apartment buildings) is due to be demolished and replaced with newly built homes. Several of the other apartments near here are now unoccupied and have been boarded up.
The teal-coloured panel beyond the concrete staircase is part of a hoarding that surrounds a wide expanse of land where similar buildings have already been demolished in readiness for new construction work to begin.
I've been through many redecorations and demolishing homes and I have a bad habit of not taking photos of them before I change it...so here's a very recent previous one :)
Museum pieces rest at the now-demolished Brooklyn Roundhouse in Southeast Portland. All three of these locomotives have moved on to new homes outside of Oregon.
Our Des Moines area was bombarded with tornadoes yesterday afternoon. Seven lost lives and homes were demolished. It is unreal to think what 160 mile winds can do to homes and businesses.
The passengers at the Des Moines Airport had to take cover in an underground storm shelter.

Recently, the city of Brantford, Ontario announced its plans to demolish and remove forty-one structures from the south side of Colborne Street, in the heart of its historic downtown. The structures themselves date from 1850 to 1915 with the section stretching from 115 to 139 Colborne comprising one of the longest surviving collections of pre-confederation buildings in Canada. They represent a wide variety of architectural styles from the Beaux Arts of The Right House (1870), to the Georgian of The Shannon Building (1867), to the Edwardian of the Dominion House Furnishings Company (1915). Within that range are also included a number of Renaissance Revival, Second Empire and even Art Deco structures, all of which were created at different times, for different clients with different needs. They could very soon all be reduced to rubble
Les Halles, was Paris' central fresh food market. It was demolished in 1971 and replaced by the Westfield Forum des Halles, a modern shopping mall built largely underground and directly connected to the massive RER and métro transit hub of Châtelet–Les Halles. The shopping mall welcomes 150,000 visitors daily.
A major reconstruction of the mall was undertaken in 2010, and the new version of the Forum des Halles was inaugurated in 2018. The 2.5 hectare Canopy was opened on 5 April 2016. In 2017, the Forum des Halles was the second most visited shopping mall in the Paris region with 42 million yearly visitors.
History
In the eleventh century, a market grew up by a cemetery to the north-west of Paris in an area called the Little Fields (Champeaux). This was mainly a dry goods and money changing market. A bishop briefly took control of the market before sharing control with Louis VI in 1137. In 1183, Philip Augustus took full control of the market and built two market halls - halles - to protect the textiles. He also built walls around the market, including land which had recently been confiscated from exiled Jews. When he then built walls around the city, these embraced the market, which quickly became the city's largest (and, over time, went from being at the edge of the city to at its centre). Officially, it would remain a dry goods market for centuries, but food stalls soon grew up around the main buildings and by the fifteenth century food prices at les Halles were being cited as significant for the whole city.
The market would have ups and downs over the coming centuries and was rebuilt more than once. Over time, an increasing number of halls were built explicitly for food, but the dry goods market remained central to the (increasingly cramped) space.
Unable to compete in the new market economy and in need of massive repairs, the colourful ambience once associated with the bustling area of merchant stalls disappeared in 1971, when Les Halles was dismantled; the wholesale market was relocated to the suburb of Rungis.
The Forum des Halles, a partially underground multiple story commercial and shopping centre, designed by Claude Vasconi and Georges Pencreac'h, opened at the east end of the site on September 4, 1979 in presence of the Mayor of Paris Jacques Chirac, and remains there today. A public garden covering four hectares opened in 1986. Many of the surrounding streets were pedestrianized.
