Whilst I went for a walk yesterday morning I took pictures mainly of the start of the demolition of the Bus station, which has now really begun. The guy that I spoke to on Tuesday said that the first thing they would do is take the glass out. The question that immediately came to mind was how would they do the waterside of the building?
There are two problems; half of the windows are over a car park, relatively easy to solve – close the car park. The other half is more difficult. It won’t be easy if at all possible for the demolition engines to physically reach the glass as it is over a part of the building that protrudes out.
Assuming that I am able to get out for a walk tomorrow morning, I will be very curious as to how far things have progressed. Will they have taken out the glass on the seaward side? Is it possible that demolition of the building itself will have begun, or even possibly completed and all that remains is a pile of rubble?
I am quite keen to find out.
