Following on from our visit HERE, we though we'd pop by and see how the demolition was getting on.

CS has done a good write-up on the history side of things, so I'll leave that be and let the pictures speak.

Present on this visit was myself, Hood_mad and Lola.

Valet parking. (yeah the evo got a run-out)

The building between the changing rooms and the cookhouse has gone as well.

liking the panoramic shots particularly.
as oldie has said the panoramic shot of the pool is tops.
Not bad for a camera phone. :cool2:

Any word on what's being built there, or is it just clearance demolition?
I've had a look around and can't find much on it. Local planning minutes was one item I found on google, but it just mentioned a site visit by MPs, nothing else.

Saying that, I think we'll find out soon enough as it's coming down at a rate of knots.
