Good to see such a dump being cleaned up at last.
The previous building - knocked down in the 70's was a five storey tenement structure with spires and a range of decorative features that were common during the period when the building was constructed back in the 1870's I beleive.
However, I reckon Strathcarron's development will probably be nowhere near as imaginative architecturally compared to what was there previously.

[quote]Good to see such a dump being cleaned up at last.[/quote] Agree, although there are also some legitimate businesses there. But it's too important a site to leave as is.

In relation to the grandeur of the area back in the 1870's - check out this spectacular image

The image itself is at the very bottom of that page
Apologies, I was under the impression that because the building was so huge, I believed it was five storeys, when in fact the property on the left hand side - (the site of the proposed development), is in fact only four storeys

Glasgow x and green stations need to be reopened.

Would be good to swap Glasgwo Cross for Argle Street stations. It would really help regenerate that area (and would serve the W end of Glasgow Green).

I often walked through the Schipka Pass which went from London Rd to Gallowgate above the Lane. It will be excellent if this area is regenerated. The south end of the lane is near enough on a level with areas of the old City, parts of which are below Clyde water level. There is possibly part of a whole village down there. I am told that there is another Street below Albion Street and that you can walk from Albion Street to Moir Street below present ground level. It would be interesting before development takes place to know just how much of our history is down there.

I hope it can be regenerated by presenting it some way or another via its historic past, so often left out in Glasgow when regenerating. The word says it itself regenerate; NOT MODERNISE.

It appears this one flew by you!
