The Fish 11080 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Freerunners dream, that place. If I was involved in that kind of thing and heard about them tearing somewhere like this down I'd be straight over there, make a video and edit it so that it looked like the free runners were there during the demoliton, sell it to people who like that kind of thing.

peasepud 59 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 The library is closed to be demolished and rebuilt I think. Not sure what stage it's at. That tower block you're on about has gone now too I think. There was that awful building opposite (sort of) the station that has been taken down too now. That architect who was obsessed with buildings on stilts had a few in Newcastle. The tower block is still there, they just reclad it in some hideous plastic looking stuff. Hasnt it got some vegetarian restaurant on the ground floor of it? As for Gateshead market well hopefully they'll not tell any of the customers when they demolish the carpark, I had the misfortune to wander in there the other day and its like the land humanity forgot.

Meenzer 15871 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 The weird thing is I don't actually mind Bewick Court (i.e. the one in the picture above). At least it's not as brutally grey as some of the surrounding lower-level buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 This new plastic cladding lark is taking off. Been done all over the place now with some funny colour schemes. I saw a white and green tower block the other week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
