Demolition of Park Square - with photos

Postby Ship called Dignity » Wed Oct 10, 2007 9:08 pm

Took some photos when I was out this morning.

Not that good but hopefully gives you some idea of how it looks now that the demolition has started.

Rather eary walking along McCallum Street now :shock:

Wishfull thinking PR, but not on that occasion.

Mind you, it brings back memories as a teenager, my first local then under Stevie and Florence.

well actually my mother and my grandparents lived in park square for a long time, and there was always an old family story about the ........... that was under the floorboards
unfortunately i can't reveal WHAT was under the floorboards as it is a deep dark secret, but lets say the workers would be in for one hell of a shock, obviously they haven't got to that house yet, or perhaps it has been removed, if it has been removed then all i can say is (cue spooky music) be afraid, be very afraid x
