Past the Europcar site today. A P. P. O Connor van parked up near a big skip must be starting demolition. Also excavating for the drains.
The car park is still shut, the vehicles on it belong to the site workers.

Yeah, its New Cross alright. Another title that needs changing. Again can wait till they break ground.

New Cross is the area not the name of the development. It's simply called New Cross in the application (in fact its called Oldham Road) because the developer hasn't come up with a marketing name yet.

Does anyone know the history of that Chimney looking structure in the two images above?

It’s forms part of the old Police Station which collapsed in a fire I think (some one told me that on here). Gorgeous odd looking building.

Not one of Hodder's best I must admit. Fortunately most of it will be hidden by other buildings.

Looks a little too Dandara this. I like the brick but that’s about it.

Theres usually a good reason for a blank wall, mainly because another building will be close by. However, its just a horrible design. Must do better. Reverse the materials. Have the brick as the concrete and vice versa. Would be an improvement. At least it will be pretty much hidden.

The Lancastrian | Oldham Road | 10/8/8/6 fl | U/C

It’s not called The Lancastrian (thank god) anymore. It begins with ‘B’ however the name escapes me. It’s plastered all over the hoardings.

Broadsides are large sheets of paper not just for newspaper but used for sheet music etc.

Large newspapers (before they were reduced in size) like The Independent and The Times were called 'Broad Sheets'.

Still a damn site better than the Riverside blocks. Personally, I would say that these are inoffensive enough for their location.

Not when stood next to FEC and Mulbury proposals and the heritage buildings

This really was a missed opportunity.
