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.

I grew up in Rapid City (Central HS 1980), and the changes happening there - especially downtown - are really cool. This is currently under construction.

Digitised image from the Town Hall Photographer's Collection - GB127.M850
The Town Hall Photographer’s Collection is a large photographic collection held in Manchester City Council’s Central Library archives, ranging in date from 1956 to 2007.
The collection consists of tens of thousands of images, covering the varied areas of work of Manchester Corporation and latterly, Manchester City Council.
The photographs were taken by staff photographers, who were tasked to document the work of Corporation/Council departments and, in doing so, captured many aspects of Manchester life and history, including significant changes to the Manchester landscape.
The collection includes many different formats from glass negatives, to slides, prints, CDs and even a couple of cine films.
What is especially exciting is that the majority of these images have never before been available in a digital format and therefore have only ever been seen by a handful of people.
A team of dedicated Staff and Volunteers are currently working on the systematic digitisation of the negatives held within the collection.
This album represents the result of their work to date.
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 redevelopment of the Twin Sails wharf site has started, with the area being fenced off. The separate building at 23 West Quay Road is also being knocked down.
I've been taking photos of this area for a few years now and I think that this will be luxury appartments. With everything going on with the economy at the moment it makes me wonder if they've missed the boat with property speculation.

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.
Starbird Youth Center, a Redevelopment Agency project, has been awarded SILVER LEED® certification, established by the U.S. Green Building Council and verified by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI).
The 3,840 square feet center was constructed with extensive use of recycled materials. It also boasts windows designed to capture sunrays, clerstory windows that allow the hot air to escape from the building, as well as a climate-controlled system that is maintained by a large fan to draw in air in the evening to cool down the building in the summer and a radiant floor heating system to heat the building in the winter. The Center’s large windows naturally illuminate the classrooms and lounge where neighborhood youth are tutored and socialize.
The total cost of the project was approximately $3.2 million, including $2.6 million from the San Jose Redevelopment Agency and $550,000 from Park Trust Funds.

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).

Site office being established for building site. last of demolition still being done at AMP building. New Government Service Office at right.
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.
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.
Views from Falcon Street to Buttermarket. The Cowell's works is on the left by the walkway which has disappeared under the Buttermarket Centre.
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.
A reworking of the infamous skeletal structure which loomed over the waterfront for some time.
These are the buildings or projects which have come to our attention during the course of the year.
There will be no ceremony this year although judging will take place and awards will be made.
Derby is changing - this picture features two unrelated developments: the modernization of the ringroad, and the construction of some office space near my school.

Once due for demolition, now a city icon.
After standing empty for years the old Las Palmas was due for demolition. A pity, especially considering the history of the edifice. The building had been erected as workshop building for the Holland America Line by the architects Van den Broek & Bakema in 1953 and could certainly be considered part of the Dutch architectural heritage. After years of many different functions it finally fell into disrepair. Many plans were devised to save it, but none were feasible financially and it seemed to mean the end for the building…
OVG developed a business model that enabled the old warehouse not only to be saved, but also to make it something more than it had ever been. A unique mix of cultural and commercial organizations jointly provided a financially sound foundation on which this creative redevelopment project could be realized.
Most extraordinary, however, was not what happened inside the old Las Palmas, but what happened on top. A unique design by Benthem Crouwel Architecten enabled OVG to almost double the effective space of the property and furthermore create the most sought-after workplace in Rotterdam. In our view this project exactly encapsulates all that OVG stands for so it should come as no surprise that we decided to occupy this revolutionary property ourselves.

This is a picture of a house that had been demolished without the consent of the owners, not a day before we were their. Notice the furniture and belongings of the poeple remain laying in the rubble.

Work continues at Kingsmead - this hole in the side of the building will apparently house a new Vue cinema. You might expect the architecture to cover up the dated façade of the Kingsmead building, but the artists' impressions show it will actually just be a nuclear reactor containment structure bolted on the side: www.dawnus.co.uk/en/content/cms/building-projects/kingsme...
As I walked past, there was a lot of shouting going on and a load of water pouring out from the top of the site down onto the ground below...!
I was actually headed for the toilets, where an absurd diversion was in force:
Usually you walk up the stairs to the toilets which are on the first floor of the car park. But the stairs were all barricaded off, with A4 sheets stuck up directing people towards the lifts to access the toilets. So I went around to the lifts, where two of them were shut off for work, and the third broken with "Out of Order" taped on the doors.
Luckily, the fourth and final lift wasn't dead, so I got in that. Inside, there was a bit of gaffer tape over the button for the first floor - although in actual fact, according to another sign, the buttons are out of sync and the numbers on the buttons don't match the numbers of the car park levels.
With level 1 taped over, the signs instructed to press level 2 and overshoot level 1. That done, I arrived on level 2, with further signs directing people across the car park to reach the toilets. Across the car park was another stairwell, where you had to walk back down again to level 1, then back across the car park to finally reach the toilets (which are disgusting anyway).
A quality shopping experience!
Kingsmead, Farnborough, Hampshire.
On the small triangle block at 11th and Madison. Replaces the very sketchy Undre Arms.
