The site has remained derelict since the closure of the Rainbow Rapids in 1997 and has attracted a lot of protest from various interested persons, groups and organisations over an extended period of time.
The redevelopment of Dún Laoghaire’s old baths began earlier this year and it is planned that the new public area will become operational early in 2020. The project will include the retention of the existing baths building and the development of a new pedestrian walkway between the promenade at Newtownsmith and the rear of the east pier. However, the site will not include a public swimming facility. A €9 million contract for the development of the site was signed between Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and the SIAC and Mantovani construction group. The project is expected to cost around €10 million in total and has been part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
The public swimming baths at Dun Laoghaire originally date from the 1790s but were demolished in 1836 to make way for the new railway line. The old Victorian Baths complex was originally opened in 1842 and then rebuilt by the town council in 1908. In 1843, John Croswaithe built baths on the corner of Scotsman’s Bay. Originally known as the Royal Victoria Baths but access was limited to people with money. Kingstown Urban District Council bought the baths in the late 1890s and renovated them between 1905 and 1911 at a cost of £11,000. This is when they became known as Kingstown Baths, and later Dun Laoghaire Baths. During the 1970s heated indoor pools were added as well as a water fun park known as Rainbow Rapids. The complex was repainted in 2012 but remained in an advanced stage of dereliction until 2018.

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.
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.

A long terrace of houses in the Easton style, photographed on Wednesday 9th May 1973. Thrissell Street ran from Easton Road to Stapleton Road. All the houses are vacant and have been boarded up ready for demolition. One thing about the Age of Redevelopment in the decades after the war was that there were always lots of derelict houses for we boys to play in. The pathos of these places made a strong impression on me as a child. Sometimes houses stood for years between being vacated and being demolished. Scattered momentos of the last occupants ...mildewed books and suchlike... sometimes lay around on shelves and window sills. Gardens had gone wild. Buddleia bushes thrived among the shattered masonry of lean-to kitchens and outdoor lavatories. To this day the scent of Elder blossom (much in evidence at the time of posting this photo) reminds me of ruinous houses and ...another feature of English life at the time...post-war bomb sites..
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.
Houses in Attercliffe, Sheffield, Monday 22nd February 1971. Two storeys high facing the street, but three stories at the rear, giving each house a kind of garret by the look of it. Lean-to privies in the back yards. Very few houses in Attercliffe were still occupied at this date and the whole area was being made ready for demolition.
New council flats on the site of the former Gracemount multi-storey tower blocks.
The development is part of the City of Edinburgh Council 21st Century Homes programme. Phase 1: Building 67 homes for social rent, 20 homes for midmarket rent and 12 homes for sale under a shared equity scheme. Phase 2: Building 70 flats and 46 houses for sale, including sale under a shared equity scheme. Work started on site in November 2010.
The new streets are to be known as Linden Avenue and Philip Terrace. Linden as in Lime tree because of the avenues of limes originally on this site (ironically a good number of these have been removed during the redevelopment). Philip after the TB pioneer Dr Robert Philip who had a brucellosis-free dairy farm at Gracemount.

From the other side of the Queensway.
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.
Cork City has been very slow to redevelop the docklands area but now there is some sign of progress.
Albert Quay was named for Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria. Victoria and Albert visited Cork city on 3 August 1849. A section of the quay has been renamed Terence MacSwiney Quay in honour of Terence MacSwiney, a former Lord Mayor of Cork, who died after a prolonged hunger strike in Brixton Prison in 1920 during the War of Independence. Victoria and Albert had arrived at Cove [now spelled Cobh] on 2 August 1849 on board the royal yacht named, appropriately enough, The Victoria and Albert. Cove, as it was then called, was renamed Queenstown in honour of the visit.
During its 400 year history, Kennedy Quay and its associated docklands have been the seat of commerce and trade for the City of Cork however the area has been in decline for many years.
Kennedy Quay still operates commercially and has a number of interesting features including a number of old buildings but there has been a lot of demolition work in the area since I first visited ten years ago.
One of the key landowners in Cork Docklands, Origin Enterprises owns close to thirty acres of land on Cork’s south docks and demolition has taken place of their silos on Kennedy Quay by the R&H Hall building. Origin Enterprises, a subsidiary of convenience food group IAWS, has recently submitted a plan for a major retail and residential development of the docklands area of Cork.
In March 2017 the Government announced that three major housing developments in Cork City will benefit from combined State support of €25.89 million through the Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund (LIHAF). According to the press release - “The new funding will catalyse the development of three sites: a 600 unit suburban greenfield site at the Old Whitechurch Road; the former “Atlantic Quarter” site on the former Ford Depot site on Centre Park Road; and the R & H Hall site on Kennedy Quay.”
Long left as a former rail alignment and general piece of wasteground, redevelopment was the order of the day as a few more apartments could be squeezed into the margins in Radstock in November 2015.

Winstanley Street ran from Barton Hill Road to Queen Ann Road, Bristol. This was taken Friday 26th June 1970. The houses were demolished in the autumn. The course of the street was entirely obliterated when new houses were built.
