A few weeks ago I commented as follows: " A developer has applied to build student apartments at 56-64 Dominick Street, the site of the former Michael H clothing factory. The complex will consist of the original four-storey building with and additional floor plus a sixth-storey penthouse."
I took the above to mean that elements of the original building would be retained but as the whole building has been demolished I must have misunderstood the planning application.
Bournbrook Pavilion at the University of Birmingham. Seen from the no 76 bus on the Aston Webb Boulevard (Selly Oak Bypass).
The route of the no 76 bus to the QE Hospital has been slightly changed, turning right onto the Bristol Road, then left onto the Bypass (instead of left towards Selly Oak Triangle).
There is also a new Starbucks Coffee in this new building. Near all the new student residences that line the bypass!
The now demolished former Pea Factory on Brayford Wharf East, in Lincoln, Linolnshire.
The building was built sometime before 1885 and used by a Coal Merchants until it was converted into a Pea Factory in 1891 by Albert W Hall and Sons.
In 2013 plans were announced for it to be transformed into a multi-storey student accommodation. The plans included a walkway between Brayford Wharf East and High Street will be added for pedestrians and cyclists, linking the two areas more directly. However thse plans were dropped after objections.
In November 2014 the University of Lincoln annouced plans to convert the site into a six-storey learning centre. The new development is hoped to house the university’s schools of Psychology and Health & Social Care.
University of Lincoln spokesperson, Ian Richards, said: “The University of Lincoln is developing plans for a new academic building on the Wigford Yard site on Brayford Wharf East, next to our existing David Chiddick Building.
It would also create a new pedestrian route linking the High Street to Brayford Wharf East, further improving the integration of the city centre, the university campus and the Brayford waterfront.
20 July 2016: "A group of people who unlawfully re-occupied the site of a planned student accommodation project in Dublin have been given 21 days to leave by a High Court judge. The same property was subject of court proceedings last year against a group, all of whom ultimately left after one was jailed for contempt of a court order requiring them vacate it."
Every day I am discovering a new block of student accommodation under construction.
Today I got a bit of a surprise when I saw a new street beside the 3Arena at the Point in Dublin Docklands. Another thing that surprised and disappointed me was that the three bronze bears are gone from outside the 3Arena.
I must have not being paying attention over the last year or two because when I got home and conducted some research I discovered that there was a plan for a ‘Point Village’ student accommodation complex to be operated by CRM Students, the biggest operator of student accommodation in Britain, where it has 14,000 beds. The plan involves demolishing old warehousing and building two residential blocks of up to eight storeys in height beside the Gibson Hotel. The development, which incorporates land owned by CIE, would be the biggest off-campus student residence in the country.
The student accommodation complex will benefit from a new street currently under construction between North Wall Quay and Sheriff Street. In addition a planned pedestrianised bridge linking North Wall Quay and Sir John Rogerson Quay in the south docklands would also improve accessibility.
The plan includes new traffic lights, footpaths and car and bicycle parking. As you can see from my photographs the street has been created and the traffic lights are being installed.
In 2015 Dublin City Council announced plans for the new bridge to connect the old London and North Western Railway Company station on North Wall Quay to Forbes Street on Sir John Rogerson’s Quay on the south of the river. The Victorian train station was the planned location of a proposed Dart Underground station for the north docks but the underground project had been suspended and maybe even cancelled so the bridge project has been suspended for about two years but may never go ahead.

[UPDATE] Apparently the three bears were removed in March by receivers Grant Thornton who are clearing the area for construction work. It is expected that the bears will be auctioned off.
Student accommodation alongside Campus Way, University of Lincoln, Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
The University of Lincoln developed from a number of educational institutions in Hull including the Hull School of Art (1861), the Hull Technical Institute (1893), the Roman Catholic teacher-training Endsleigh College (1905), the Hull Central College of Commerce (1930), and Kingston upon Hull College of Education (1913). These institutions merged in 1976 to form Hull College of Higher Education, with a change of name to Humberside College of Higher Education in 1983 when it absorbed several courses in fishing, food and manufacturing based in Grimsby.
In 1992 it was one of the many institutions in the UK to become full universities as, briefly, the University of Humberside, growing to 13,000 students by 1993.
The cathedral city of Lincoln was without its own university, so the University of Humberside was approached to develop a new campus to the south west of the city centre, overlooking the Brayford Pool. The University was renamed the University of Lincolnshire and Humberside in January 1996, taking in its first 500 Lincoln students in September 1996, intending to grow to about 4,000 Lincoln based students within four years.
Opened by Queen Elizabeth II, the University's main campus in Lincoln was the first new city centre campus to be built in the UK for decades. More than £150 million has been invested in the Brayford Pool campus, transforming a city centre brownfield site, revitalising the area and attracting investment from the retail, leisure and property sectors. Economists estimate that the University has created at least 3,000 new jobs within Lincoln and that it generates more than £250 million every year for the local economy – doubling previous local economic growth rates.
The consolidation involved the University acquiring Leicester-based De Montfort University's schools in Lincolnshire: the Lincoln School of Art and Design in uphill Lincoln, and the Lincolnshire School of Agriculture's sites at Riseholme, Caythorpe and Holbeach. Caythorpe was later closed permanently and its activities moved to Riseholme. Courses held in Grimsby were also moved to Lincoln around this time.
In 2012 all Further Education provision was transferred from Riseholme College to Bishop Burton College. Bishop Burton College are now responsible for the Riseholme College to the north of the city.
Throughout the late-1990s, the University's sites in Hull were considerably scaled down as the focus shifted towards Lincoln. In 2001 this process was taken a step further when the decision was made to move the administrative headquarters and management to Lincoln and to sell the Cottingham Road campus in Hull, the former main campus, to its neighbour, the University of Hull; the site is now the home of the Hull York Medical School. Until 2012 the University maintained a smaller campus, the Derek Crothall Building, in Hull city centre. A smaller campus and student halls on Beverley Road, Hull, were also sold for redevelopment.

I believe all these brick-faced student residences at Gosta Green, apart from Stafford Tower (on the right, in the near distance), have now been demolished. The folk on the ground are exchanging snowballs with their fellows up on the elevated walkway of Gem House. Next to Gem House is the bottom of Lawrence Tower. As I understand it, Stafford Tower - the last of Aston's three 1970s twenty-storey tower blocks - is due to be demolished this year (2014). Photo taken Sunday 22nd February 1981.
Update April 2016. Having visited the site just last weekend I can confirm that none of the buildings in this view now exists, apart from the distant black on the right, which is in the city centre.

This is the view across James Watt Queensway, Birmingham, towards the campus of Aston University, sometime in autumn 1979. The white, neo-classical Portland stone tower on the left belongs to the fire station, while the neo-Stalinist block behind it is the university's main building - actually a very fine piece of 1950s architecture. Centre-stage is Stafford Tower with Dalton Tower on the right. These are two of three student accommodation tower blocks built in the early 1970s; their sister Lawrence Tower is hiding behind Stafford. I lived in Dalton Tower during the 1979-80 academic year, on floors 3 and 4. The flats were being redecorated from bottom to top, one floor at a time, so when they reached you, you had to shift up one level. Not sure what happened about the people on the 20th floor. There were three flats per floor, and seven rooms per flat, which makes, err ... 420 in total. One sunday afternoon I walked out of the main entrance and saw the body of a man who had just thrown himself from the 19th floor. Otherwise I had a very happy time there - you couldn't beat the location for convenience. Stafford Tower survives, but Dalton Tower was demolished by controlled explosion one year ago today, 8th May 2011.
Update, June 2018: just to add that Stafford Tower has also since been destroyed, in its case on Sunday 27th April 2014.

Great North Western Hotel was built in 1867 and provided accommodation for the rail travellers. Today it houses student accommodation.
Liverpool to Manchester was the first Passenger Rail line in the world. The original stop was on Edge hill as the train couldn't make it up the hill out of the city. in 1836 a new tunnel and station had been completed. The train still couldn't make the hill up so was pulled out of the station by a rope attached to a pulley and another train pulling down the hill. The Train station was named after the road it fronts onto. The road was named after William Harvey’s lime kilns.

I'm conscious that I've been uploading a lot of beach shots recently so today, as the weather is getting better I thought I would revive my "streets of Bournemouth" collection and also inspired by the recent architecture documentaries on BBC4, I would take some photos of buildings.
This is building is a multi storey car park and the top is currently being used as student accommodation, but I think it used to be the Rooftop Hotel, if I remember rightly.
