The Elbow Room has finally been demolished a few decades after closing.

Finally got that beer garden it was sadly missing ! And in other news, the old Cotton Club, aka the Ferguslie Mills Half Timers School ruin looks set to be demolished in October for a new build flats development.

Surprised it's taken so long.

That was a bit of luck that fire, as I recall, for the owner. :whistle

Love the opening blurbs in that statement which loosely translated says "We specialise in cheap flat pack identical building projects that are as inspirational as Syphillis and really couldn't give a good f*ck about local history or architecture, as this get rich quick scheme will line our pockets in jig time, If you have any other historic buidings in town requiring demolition or conservation projects from the 1880's that require upgrading to the 1980's, please call our specialists who will be happy to assist..."

Property developers in massive money making scandal !!   Shockeroonie !! 

The alternative could be.... You know what  ? You have a pile of 19th century bricks.... who gives a f**k . Do you want it cleared out and new houses put up or what  ? 

Its an eyesore and in the absence of anyone who is going to "sympathetically " restore or refurb the site , get it pulled down and built on .

I'd sooner see it demolished and the site made into a public area or something, rarther than the 21st century eyesore going up in it's place at 400% profit.

But its not FS.

It has sat long enough as an eysore , no white knights have emerged to revitalise the place and the Cooncil defo dont have the cash for it.  The reality is , this is the only deal in town as far as i can see.

I fully understand the "reality of the situation".  As long you understand my disapproval of yet another flatpack construction that looks like it was designed on Microsoft Paint for Windows '95.

They could  have just demolished the school and left a vacant space which would  still have been better than this shite.

I'm pretty certain you've nailed it, Cockle...

It's certainly before 3.00pm as none of the jackets worn by the young lads had patch pockets or tulip lapels.  They came into fashion slightly later that afternoon.

There usetae be a plaque on the wall of WG's hoose in Rowan Street (Up the wee cul de sac that led to the Crags...?)  Dunno if it's still there.

 

There was talk of a statue of him being put up.  Whatever happened to that?

Love this - "A 20% discount is available to those living in the PA postcode area."

Someone from Tiree gets the discount but someone from Penilee doesn't. Seems fair enough...

Why pick on Tiree, let me tell you this Thioridh is very happy with this arrangement.......go and pick on someone from Coll!!
