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).

From the other side of the Queensway.
Church Street, Temple, Bristol, Thursday 9th April 1981. The turning on the left, just visible in the foreground, is Tower Street, which was only a few yards long and cut through into traffic-thundering Temple Way. On the right is Church Lane. Demolitions in the mid 1970s have left a large expanse of open ground which is being used for car parking. The right-hand half would have been the site of Temple Colston School I think. In the distance on the right are buildings in Victoria Street. What was being constructed in the centre distance? The more distant of the two cranes seems to be over the Dragonara Hotel ...or whatever it's called now... but surely the Dragonara went up earlier than this. The building on the left was demolished fairly recently I think, after a shortish life. For the equivalent modern view, see next picture...
Views from Falcon Street to Buttermarket. The Cowell's works is on the left by the walkway which has disappeared under the Buttermarket Centre.
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.
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.
This project - a supermarket-retail-apartment development for a SD neighborhood that's gotten the short end of the stick for many years - is finally taking off.
The raised highway running left-right is the San Diego end of the Coronado Bridge. Interstate 5 continues south towards the U.S./Mexico border.

Under the Queensway.
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.

Another view of Warwick Road taken Thursday 9th April 1981. The new houses on the right went up in about 1977. A Mini is in precisely the same position as the Mini in the 1973 photo. Not long after this the church in the distance lost the upper portion of its spire and had become, I think, Greek Orthodox. The more distant church is St Agnes, in Newfoundland Road.
Now the area with the Bicentennial Mall, Farmer's Market, and soon-to-be-home of the Tennessee State Museum (and Library Archives) was previously a residential area.
No one from anywhere is going to be living in this stalled North Point Global development project in Liverpool any time soon.
Ten years later, on Friday 9th May 1980, the foreground, down to the lamp post, was unchanged. Beyond, all had been obliterated by new flats of an especially unlovely kind. The lamp post is the same one, no doubt an adapted gaslight, and under magnification the blemishes and rust spots visible in the 1970 photograph can be discerned, though they have multiplied and grown larger. It has started to lean and has had a sign hung on its ladder rest. The top section, with a new lamp, has been changed. Even in this tiny detail there has been a worsening. The old lamp holder was a rather pleasing affair, strengthened by attractive, curly, wrought-iron brackets. The new one is just a piece of bent tubing.
This little backwater behind the shops in Staple Hill, Bristol, with its untidy mix of houses and old workshops, was homely, familiar, human-scale and visually interesting ...so it had to go. The planners really couldn't abide something as anomalous and unplanned as this. It was an affront to them. On Sunday 15th April 1973 the houses are vacant and bricked up until such time as they can be demolished ...which wasn't until January 1975.
Not sure if it's being demolished or just re-done, but this is the scene along Kingsmead at the moment.

The row of derelict houses is at the junction of Easton Road and Park Street, Easton. They hung on in this condition until they were demolished in 1972. In the foreground is the surface of Leigh Street, which has already lost its houses. An earlier phase of Easton's redevelopment had given us the Stalinist workers' flats in the distance. My aunt, who lived in Easton Road, had already been moved out of the house she owned to become a council tenant in Greenbank. The council paid her £150 for the plot, arguing that since the house itself was to be demolished it had no value. The camera position would now be in the middle of Lawrence Hill Roundabout (see next pic).
A view of the redevelopment taking place at Aberdeen railway and bus station. (Taken from the GNSR built Station Hotel).
Guild street freight yard in the centre distance is now devoid of tracks and on the left the 1960's built bus station awaits demolition. The new facade of the station itself, on the right does not really inspire at the moment. Hopefully it will look better on completion.

The view along Pipe Lane, just off Bristol's city centre, seen from the Colston Centre on Sunday 5th December 1982. Off left the former head office of the Bristol Omnibus Co. is undergoing reconstruction. This redevelopment ruined one of the most recognisable groups of buildings in the city. Perhaps what did for it was the withering epithet "mock tudor", often used to describe the frontage. But under the fake Victorian façade, the buildings were mediaeval, and the timber framework and internal structure vanished ...all with the benefit of grant aid. During my own years of toil in the bus company's vineyard the open space at the rear of the building ...where the Portakabins are... was a staff car park. I didn't have a car in those days and never used it, but I seem to remember ten year-old bus drivers' cars parked among crumbling, Buddleia-smothered foundations. I'm not sure what had once been there, but on the far side were the mouldering rear elevations of early 19th-century warehouses which stood in Orchard Lane.
The art deco frontage of the former Radiant House (right) was demolished a couple of years ago for the extension of the Colston Hall.
The fourth priority area of the Hyogo Framework for Action – addressing underlying drivers of disaster risk – has proved the most challenging area of implementation for countries around the world.
An innovative Norwegian development shows what can be done with good vision, planning, implementation and ongoing commitment to investing today for a safer tomorrow.
On the site of the former Oslo airport an eco-friendly mixed development is transforming a polluted post-industrial wasteland into an area of parkland, residences and offices that is flood-resilient.
Here, UNISDR goes on a tour of the Fornebu development with landscape architect Simen Gylseth that once completed will host 6,000 residents and 20,000 office and light industrial workers in developments arranged around parkland of 200,000 square metres.
The field trip is part of the European Forum for Disaster Risk Reduction (EFDRR) being held in Oslo and hosted by the Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection and Emergency Planning, the Chair of the EFDRR. The meeting is co-organized in collaboration with the Council of Europe (EUR-OPA) and UNISDR Europe.

Somebody in the city council thought it would be a good idea to demolish the buildings in Christmas Street, facing the bottom of Christmas Steps, in order to expose the old timber framed houses on the left of this photograph. This was done, leaving a sad little triangular patch of asphalte next to a busy three-lane one-way street. The old houses were spruced up at the same time and lost their picturesque shabbiness.
Where the road curves away to the right in the distance had been a cobbled back street called Lewins Mead. In 1970 it had been widened to three lanes as part of the Inner Circuit Road, and all its little workshops and small factories had been knocked down. A few old walls and foundations remain. The modern building above the two cars and behind the tall lamp post was demolished for further widening after a life of only a few years. On the far side of the road office development has begun. Saturday 24th February 1973.
