Most of the building has been demolished except for the north end and the basement.
Yew Street at Lahb Avenue in Arbutus Ridge
All the photos here are to document the demise of Moodyville. All the houses in these photos will be torn down make way for more development in North Vancouver.
The backs of houses in Bathurst Parade and Wapping Road, Bristol, Friday 29th August 1980. The houses were retained but gentrified. In the foreground came Merchants Quay and Challoner Court. When was the last time a newly constructed thoroughfare was named "Street"?
The 4002 Building at the Greentree Executive Campus redevelopment area meets its fate. A small retail strip will rise here fronting Route 73.
Taken with a Nikon Pronea-S camera in week 225 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

The Nikon Pronea-S is the second APS camera that I have used. The APS (Advanced Photo System) was introduced in 1996, it used 24mm wide film, and had provisions for three different aspect ratios to be selected, though the negative always recorded the full frame, and the different formats were implemented at the printing stage, with data being read from the film to tell the machines which aspect to use.
APS was a short lived format as soon after it was introduced digital cameras started to become more affordable, and the non-technically minded snap shooter, for whom the APS system was ideal, soon switched to digital. The film is no longer made, but is still fairly easy to find online. This Fujicolor Nexia A200 colour negative film was in the camera when I found it in a charity shop, only the first few frames had been used. I adapted one of my 35mm spirals to take the 24mm wide film, and developed it in the Tetenal C41 kit.
Unlike the Minolta APS SLR that I used recently, the Nikon accepts all the Nikon mount lenses, so I was able to use my 18-200mm VR lens which is made for the smaller than full frame DSLRs, there is some vignetting at the wide angle end of the range, but otherwise the lens works perfectly with the APS negative size.
The buildings behind First Bath e200 44915 YX09AHA were the former home of the Welton Bibby and Baron Packaging in Welton near Midsomer Norton.
The site closed in 2013. The old stone buildings were a former brewery and will be retained in the redevelopment. The 20th century ones were purpose built but will be lost under a development of shops, a care home, a hotel and 200 homes.
I've never been especially happy with the buildings at the top of the hill. Partly it's because the lighting is so awkward with the room window to the left making photography very tricky. Whilst arranging a backscene for the area, I hit upon repositioning Taylor & Co. close up against the railway viaduct. This has opened a yard between it , and the rear of the Kings Head.
Assorted bits of junk from the spares box has filled it and made a focal point. Meanwhile the compulsory Board of Trade stop, which brings cars to a halt before descending the hill has been slightly moved back in front of the advertising billboards.
The Plymouth Drive end of the park area at Rennaisance Square in Marlton NJ, with a look at some of the complex on the background - redevelopment of the former Tri-Towne Plaza.
Former Dillon Supply Company warehouses coming down to make room for Raleigh's new Union Station, and Warehouse District developments.
By the time the new mixed residential/commercial spaces rise above Dillon's former warehouse, there may not be any "warehouses" left in this eponymous district.
It's Saturday evening and tarmac is being spread on the re-arranged Platform 4, which replaces the old one in the far distance. The mobile crane is running on the track, pulling and pushing two open wagons. Neat, eh? :)
For some reason, a fence is being erected to divide this platform. Absolutely no idea why...?
The only services to start are Chiltern's to Marylebone. All else remains suspended because work is still in hand at Wolvercote Junction at Oxford.
To the right, the double-faced north bay, often used to store Turbos, is being filled in and will be no more.
got told off by a rather officious corporate man, as i was trespassing on private land to take this shot
one of my early shots on flickr.
By Saturday 17th May 1980, the Greyfriars office development had filled the horizon and obliterated all traces of the old Lewins Mead. The city council repented of its decision to expose the west side of Christmas Street and, in 1983, decided to "re-enclose" the old buildings on the left by rebuilding the east side. It is no longer possible to photograph this view because new buildings fill the foreground.
The slow progress of the East stand construction (on the right) at Sixfields. The small North stand on the left has been fitted with new seats, which was far from being a priority. This was taken during the Shrewsbury game on 23rd Augusr 2014, which finished 1-1.
Part of the old Buggyworks complex in Columbus's Arena District has been redeveloped into office space.
Friday 29th August 1980. Not long before, the Garricks pub had been known as the Bathurst Hotel. Soon afterwards it became The Smugglers and it is now known as the Louisiana. During the 80s the area was gentrified and the houses were painted in twee pastel hues. Repro cobblestones, capstans and other fraudulent quayside impedimenta were put down.
Another apartment building under construction at Renaissance Square Marlton NJ, the redevelopment of the former Tri-Towne Plaza. There will be five apartment buildings here when the development is completed.
Over the many months that I planned what I wanted in the tram layout , I envisaged a London Transport bus garage. I chose to use the Kingsway Streatham garage kit. In reality this did have tramlines passing by , albeit on the overhead wire rather than the conduit system that I model.
However I was never very happy with the scene created. It tended to give a confused background to any photos of tramcars taken as they passed by on the curve, in front.
The view here is an 'aerial shot' of the area.
Having designed the new Victorian terraced house kit, I've decided to make a replacement 'scenery module' that slots in to replace the garage using one and a half kits producing a terrace of six houses..

The same scene in 2006. Smartened up but not so visually interesting. I do wish modern bricks were a little less homogeneous in their appearance. Look at the stone setts, which are original; every one is an individual and, in the mass, they give a lively, varied texture. Now look at the walls, especially the one on the left, with its orangeade colour and featureless appearance.
Guitar Showcase, an independent music store, has been in business at 3090 South Bascom Avenue in San Jose, California for more than 50 years. The store was founded in 1965.
The main building is about to be torn down, and replaced with a housing development that's sorely needed in this area.
Guitar Showcase will continue to operate for some time from a second, adjacent building that they built in the late 1980s.
You can see other photos of the outside of the existing building and its neon sign here:
Here's a link to a story about this project published by the San Jose Mercury News in 2019:

What was left of Dundee's old West Port was saved from demolition in the 1980s and became part of the Blackness Project under the auspices of the Scottish Development Agency. I think there were certain 'issues' which resulted in the block at number 48 remaining untouched for some time, while the buildings on either side received a facelift.
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.

One of the three recently completed ponds at the park area at Rennaisance Square in Marlton NJ - which will be connected with paved paths lined with benches, barbeque picnic areas and a playground with play equipment. There are elevations that hide Route 70 from the park area in some places along the path. A dog park is also planned.
Looking towards Stoke Bridge. Stoke Bridge had not been widened to take dual traffic in the top photo and buildings still stand where the road is now.
This whole area was completely redesigned and rebuilt when the town by-pass and Orwell Bridge and Civic Drive were built, as well as West End Road, which made this into a major junction, as traffic from the by-pass exit at Bourne Hill now enters the town here and joins the main inner ring road and smaller roads at this point. A second Stoke Bridge was built alongside the old Stoke Bridge to duel it up for the extra traffic whilst much of narrow Wherstead Road was by-passed with the new Hawes Street and the busy "Novotel Interchange" was created to deal with this complicated junction .
