St Thomas Street, Redcliff, was an important mediaeval thoroughfare leading to Bristol Bridge. In the 1870s Victoria Street was driven through, leaving a sharply angled junction. At the intersection an elegant, arcaded Victorian building of "flat-iron" plan, belonging to the Iron & Marble Co. had been demolished in 1974 for the crass speculative office block seen at the right edge of this picture. The developers (I name and shame) were Mithras Properties.
The buildings in Victoria Street had lingered on for years, rented to a succession of short-term leaseholders. The City Council was itching to demolish them and would have a few years before. But for 20 years Bristolians, like the citizens of every English city, had watched huge swathes of their surroundings needlessly swept away and changed out of all recognition. Out of the reaction to this the conservation movement was born, bringing a different, if less malevolent threat. But let that pass. The point is that developers and local politicians could no longer get their own way without a fight. Today, all the buildings visible in Victoria Street not only survive but have been restored, although it is to be regretted that several are façades only.
On the left a row of jettied buildings dating from 1673 (the date displayed on the buildings is misleading), one of a handful of survivors from Bristol's immense pre-war stock of old timber-framed houses.
Identifiable on the left, a Morris Oxford Estate, GWO 466C (Monmouth); a BMC 1100; and a Triumph 1300. In front of the camera the badge on the bonnet says Hillman ...an Avenger? Monday 23rd June 1975.

So, you have an idea for a new building but you are short on space and pieces. What do you do? Drive another moc into it! In this case it was my 1996 Impala SS zamboni taking out my Palms condominiums. *No pieces were harmed in the making of this production.*
The first two buildings are now complete and beginning to be occupied. The next phase will be the removal of this building, the remainder of the original Mall, for replacement by townhouses and more rental apartments.
The remaining tenants are BC Liquor and Dance Co and they are due to leave this month. The lower part of the building used to be a community centre for the whole of the village, but that was wound up some time ago. Pedalheads used the pool for teaching children to swim but that has also ceased.
Fountain Gate opened in March 1980 with the original anchor tenants Kmart and Safeway. It was renovated and extended around 1990 under owners Overland Development Corporation (adding Coles and Target) then twice by current owners Westfield: in 2001 (adding Village Cinemas, Big W and a relocated Safeway) and in 2012 (adding Myer an a relocated Coles).
This shot is from the new rooftop carpark showing the dull roof of the original section of the centre over the Kmart store. Today there are only two tenants that have not moved since opening: Kmart and a coffee lounge called 'White With One'.
Mein erster Ilford, und der war auch noch abgelaufen. Erstaunlich wie schwer es ist in einer Stadt mit 230.000 Einwohnern Rollfilme aufzutreiben... :|

The Mailbox is due to be redeveloped.
There is a temporary walking diversion from the main entrance on Suffolk Street Queensway, and up Severn Street.
It leads to a tunnel that gets you to the final escalators (to get to the restaurants and BBC Birmingham etc).

Under the Queensway.
Napier Road, Eastville, Bristol, photographed Wednesday 29th July 1970. The parked cars in the foreground are standing in Stapleton Road. The bare earth on the opposite side of the road is part of the path that had just been cleared for the elevated part of the M32 motorway. All the houses along the north side of Stapleton Road, from Muller Road to Eastville Junction, had been demolished. Above the rooftops are floodlights belonging to Eatville Stadium and a long-vanished ferro-concrete structure belonging to Eastville Gasworks. For a more up-to-date view see next photo...

A copy of The Incredulity of St Thomas by Caravaggio, this image is placed upon a private development that has stalled in the midst of a soft housing market. New York is now defined by construction and new glistening rentals and condominiums. We are witnessing a reimagining of the New York landscape, but many of these glassy newcomers now stand inert due to a real estate crisis that is just recovering. Who is this new city for and who will truly benefit from the government's cooperation in transforming our urban environment for the more affluent?
From halfway down Manor Row, at the end of Broadgate, there is a good view across the Forster Square station and the Royal Mail office. The Inland Revenue building on the right, with the curved roof, was built in the late 1990s on the site of the old Forster Square Station, a Victorian building demolished in 1992.
The remaining building to the left is Charteris Land, part of the Moray House School of Education. Compare with: www.flickr.com/photos/23351536@N07/14417601324
Edinburgh University’s Holyrood North project received planning permission in 2012. Accessed from Holyrood Road, the intention is to provide new retail and social space with accommodation for 924 students, creating a new postgraduate urban village.
With demolition of relatively modern buildings complete, a strategy agreed as part of the 2009 planning permission, building the new is well underway. The whole project has a completion date of 2017. A public consultation was held in 2010: www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/estates-buildings/news/h...
Architect John Hope’s master plan aims to reinstate the historic urban form of this part of Edinburgh’s Old Town by embedding the historic closes or narrow alleys that ran from the Canongate to Holyrood Road. This built form is sometimes described as a fishbone pattern. Within it access for vehicles is limited and there are small pockets of semi-public space.
Scaffolding to the front on the Harborne High Street. Demolition of former shop units to the rear.
Not sure what is going on here.
Attwood House
Demolition in progress. This is Building 3 at the northeast corner of Lawrence Expressway and Monroe Avenue in Santa Clara, California.
The entire campus at that location is being demolished to make way for a new development that will include housing, retail businesses and office space.
Other companies have occupied some or all of this campus in the past. If I recall correctly, Apple Computer occupied at least one of the buildings in the 1990s. Then again, Apple has been in and out of *many* buildings in the valley.
Barton Hill Road, Friday 13th September 1974. The last two houses waiting to be knocked down. New houses went up soon afterwards. In the distance the road turns right over the railway.
