Posted: Sun Feb 01, 2009 1:34 pm Post subject: Buildings not long for this world
Hope this hasn,t been done elsewhere on the site. but was passing the old Possil bus depot and ajoining building in Hawthorn street looking very sorry for themselves and thought about all the buildings I wish i had photographed over the years that are no longer there. I can think of a few I know within 10 mins from my house that won,t be with us for long.
Willing to bet our resident roving reporter Stu has been in there ....
If not then he is no doubt getting cammed up as wee speak for a recce of the area.

What`s the story with McGill, Bonnyholm and Leithland rd schools in Pollok then Alex, any demolition dates ?
I heard there may be a problem building private houses on the land McGill stands on as its part of Stirling Maxwell Forest Park ?
I noticed some newly built paths leading up to the old water tower off Barnbeth Rd too...Some sort of nature trail ? _________________ I was in a Tunnel on another forum and I came out here. fcuk, who shut the door !

Scary I was briefly involved a while ago in the situation at Bonnyholm. It was intended to get it demolished as soon as a developer had been appointed. I only recently heard that it still hasn't been demolished. I will make some enquiries about McGill and Leithland. I think though that the delay is the current credit situation.
Many of the former school sites where to be transferred to a new Property Company set up by the Council and the sites would have been cleared quicker. Unfortunately this has been shelved at the moment.
There are plans to link Rosshall Park to Crookston Castle by way of a path so that visitors can access both easier. _________________ I had a dream today
Cheers Alex, it`s just that McGill, Bonnyholm and Leithland have been lying empty for 2 years now, you can`t blame the credit crunch for that...more a budget thing me thinks
As an aside :- There has been to my knowledge 4 emergency call-outs to Leithland School. They could have demolished the whole school at half the price, its the system thats killing us here,. There is no money in the demolition fund, but there are millions of pounds being wasted in the Emergency fund _________________ I was in a Tunnel on another forum and I came out here. fcuk, who shut the door !
