Shot found and taken for Saturday Self Challenge -- 24/09/2022 --- Holes .
This is the old garage in the centre of Fetcham closed now for some number of years and has sat slowly decaying ever since .
This shot was taken early this week , in the first comment box the shots show how it looks as of Thursday P.M. Only last week the holes were full of smashed panes of glass ------
so you can see that my " window " of opportunity was very limited !!
Some further info taken from the local residents association news update from it's web page . -----
Almost seven years after the Tudor Motors garage closed its doors, work has finally started on clearing the site.
" Early this week contractors could be seen removing forecourt canopy roof panels and carrying out other preliminary work.
Planning permission has been in place for more than two years to develop the site with the construction of a three-storey building with a retail space at ground level and 12 residential units (including two affordable flats) on ground, first and second floors.
Despite repeated requests from the Fetcham Residents Association and Mole Valley District Council, no demolition work has begun – until now. " !
A Quick quote from " Play-School " back in the day -----------
" Let's See What Is Through The Square Window Today " !!
and for this week's Sight & Sound here are two very short tracks both with holes in them !!
The original section of the New Windsor school has not been used in several years. It is now being demolished and will be replaced with a state of the art addition. One must weep for the architecture that will be lost.

The destruction and demolition of our city's beloved Coral Springs Financial Plaza Building ... it was first built in 1974. The removal is to facilitate a new multi-million dollar City Center. Our city was founded in 1963 and at that time, a few blocks from here, Johnny Carson was one of the first people to buy a few lots in our city after he made it to our celebratory 'open of the city day' and party. On a personal note; Laura and I both worked in this wonderful building in the 70's, 80's and 90's, and we have many happy memories of friends in this fine building, and watching our city being built around us with the city's founder, Laura's wonderful employer; Coral Ridge Properties and Westinghouse, Inc. - Laura made it as far as the upper-penthouse floor (above), along with the mayor, and I can remember her going out on the roof with the VIP's in the morning sometimes to watch the shuttle launch to the east over the Atlantic. All of us old-timers will miss this building that we all loved so very much. Thanks for looking.
Completed in 1974, the 10-story Coral Springs Financial
Plaza was the tallest building west of Interstate 95 in
Broward County. The building was demolished in 2021.

*[disclaimer: in no way does this have anything to do with the recent Surfside Condo Collapse that happened in Miami just a few months ago. We are on stable ground here, 12 miles from the ocean, and this removal is to update our city into the 21st Century with shops, condo units, and the start of some new downtown development for the enjoyment of our city, moving forward. This is Phase Two as the beautiful new City Hall was just recently completed right next door.]

Actually the replacement building will be finished in the next few weeks but I found this picture and boosted it up a little for a re-entry on flickr.

Today’s post is from an old Agfachrome CT18 slide taken in September 1967, 18 months after closure of the railway to Combwich. I recall the photographer saying that he used an 85mm short telephoto lens on his trusty Nikkormatt, a good solid no nonsense camera, I still use mine from time to time.
Anyway, back to the subject, and we can see that work has started on dismantling the railway, with the removal of anything that can be recycled or possibly used elsewhere. Few recorded the railways being dismantled, with enthusiasts too busy chasing what little was left of steam at this time. Others simply put their cameras away and took up stamp collecting or started to build a model railway to remind them of the halcyon days of steam.
Class 22 diesel hydraulic locomotives were regulars on the demolition trains over many of the recently West Country closed lines, of which there were many of course. Third party demolition contractors also cleared lines, occasional with their own locomotive or simply tractors, old lorries and brute force.
The engine shed, which supposedly Airfix based their well known kit on, makes a sad sight with its doors open and general detritus dumped in front of it. Somebody would love to have had that old parcels trolly, but it most likely was just added to a huge bonfire along with anything else that would burn. Alas, by December the rails were all gone and the engine shed flattened.
And finally, the crossing keeper’s cottage in the far distance is still there to this day, but heavily extended over the former trackbed. The building is difficult to recognise as ‘railway’, but the owners do have a semaphore signal in the garden, albeit with a GWR signal arm mounted on the post upside down painted in rainbow colours with ‘Thank you NHS’ applied rather badly from sticky backed plastic letters.
I don't know when this office block was built (1970s?) but I assume it's cheaper to knock it down rather than refurbish fit for modern needs. The developers are planning to replace it with housing.

After removing the I-beam framework from inside the building, the demolition crane needs only to gently tip the brick veneer back inside the plot.

Today the builders made a start on demolishing the old garage. We knew the roof leaked, but when they stripped away the tiles, it was a wonder some of the timbers hadn't fallen in.
And yes the sun did come out for a little while, but it was still bitterly cold, and there was some drizzle in the afternoon.
This was a sad sight as the house waited to be demolished. At the bottom of the frame you can see spring flowers, presumably from what was left of the garden. The building and adjacent houses have now gone.
