Fencing contractors at work on September 30th 2010 alongside the avenue of trees which has now been felled as part of the redevelopment of the site of the former multi-storey flats. The site redevelopment of phase one is due to be complete in summer 2011.
The project newsletter asserts that these trees were removed because they were diseased or damaged. We're promised the avenue will be replanted later in the development. (It should be noted that in ecological terms a mature tree cannot be 'replaced'.)
Ironically one of the new streets is to be known as Linden Avenue relecting the historic avenue of Lime trees.
It is unclear whether the popular playground, opposite the primary school, will be replaced. Current plans don't appear to show a playground. citydev-portal.edinburgh.gov.uk/portal/getEdmDoc?docid=60...

Steam rising from the cooling tower of a power plant. Power plant uses natural gas to generate electricity when needed to supplement power supplies in the region.
Old pulp digester tanks from when Georgia Pacific Pulp Mill was on the waterfront.
The power plant was built in the early 1990s as a cogeneration plant. Waste heat was, supposedly, used by the pulp mill.
Someone wrote a comment on my Facebook post that the pulp mill never used that steam. They couldn't come to an agreement? I wouldn't know. Maybe the cogeneration was just window dressing?
Since the mill has been torn down, the power plant installed a steam turbine, according to a Herald article. Steam turbine makes electricity from some of the waste heat that isn't now going to the mill after the mill was torn down.
Turbines at the plant are like jet engines, I guess. Natural gas turbines which turn generators. The turbines are cooled by water. The hot water (steam) goes to the steam turbine and generator for more power. Then to the cooling tower.
Here are some photos of the inside as demolition proceeds. It's a slow job as so much of the original building is to be retained.
the house (actually two houses) with the high pitched roof and the ones beside it on the left are to be spared, due to their age, I suppose. Also the pub to the right, the Magpie and Crown, will stay.
Maybe.
Ballymore has changed their mind about the old NatWest Bank (it's now to be demolished) so who knows what will be left.

The Bay Area definitely needs more housing!

During the latter stages of October metal spots have been inserted in a drip pattern across Bristo Square and up the steps to/from the main doors of the McEwan Hall.

In 2013 the University of Edinburgh announced plans to spend £34m on improvements to the McEwan Hall and Bristo Square area. www.ed.ac.uk/estatesprojects/central-area
The summer graduations in 2017 took place in the McEwan Hall, but some of the finishing work was delayed into October 2017. Designed by LDN and Buro Happold this scheme is designed to restore the A listed Robert Rowan Anderson building to its former glory whilst enhancing accessibility and increasing capacity."

Looking away from the city centre this area is currently being redeveloped and it appears the warehouse is either being renovated or demolished. A few hundred yards in the distance ( out of shot ) there is a new housing estate being built.
The new Sainsbury's in Maidenhead is due to open on March 15th. They've got a lot of work still to do and will be working around the clock to get it ready.

The actual Redevelopment Area "A" as eventually designated was mercifully not this enormous.
