We're a city of heathens as my granny used to say It begs the question how many have been demolished in the last 20-30 years? There's been quite a few converted into flats though.

Before that and this is where it seems to get a little sketchy it was Sydney Street School. Could be the wrong building entirely and am still waiting on my father bieng well enough to confirm some of the details i thought i had. It has been a building i was fascinated by as a kid and had forgotten about it till i had cause to be diverted that way one night .... Some interesting people round that way lmao. One i took late at night of the same building. _________________ MY FLICKR Smile let them think your crazy.... Dont Speak to confirm it !!!

Maybe someone will be able to help with more details. _________________ I had a dream today ALEX G @ flickr Back to top cybers Sausage supper Joined: 18 Aug 2007 Posts: 771 Location: Livingston Posted: Sun Apr 06, 2008 11:51 pm    Post subject: Is the other place not housed in the business centre that is behind this building. As for the frontage on Duke street i am sure that was a church though i remember it as a drop in centre for the homeless in the 80's and 90's Are the fibreglass elephants still across the road... Or have they been nicked. _________________ MY FLICKR Smile let them think your crazy.... Dont Speak to confirm it !!!
