Spot on Del I understand it was offered to the Lighthouse in 1999 but they didn't feel it was appropriate for their venue and I think there was an issue about space. To update the information I posted before: Quote: A wee bit more info on the Centre Area Model the dark woods in the model represents buildings constructed before 1950 and the model was started in the mid sixties This was provided by one of the Council's Model-makers who now works on the computer graphic model. _________________ I had a dream today ALEX G @ flickr Back to top Unh@ppyb@st@rd Bag of chips Joined: 23 Nov 2007 Posts: 119 Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2008 5:31 am    Post subject: personally I think the numpties in the Lighthouse got it wrong Peoples Palace would be great venue.
