Way Back When

Way Back When
Back in 1996 and my days working in Building Safety, called to an unsafe structure at 5pm on a Friday,
The signs and barriers we erected were probably of little use, but at the time they were all we could do until the building's owners had been tracked down.

So.......what was it about this building that made you think it was unsafe Roger?

It's definitely seen better days........I'm surprised you weren't called out much earlier! A cracking shot though, full of lovely detail.
6 months ago.
Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Keith Burton club
Going on a hunch really Keith ;-))
It was a farm building on the edge of town in those days, now the town boundary is a mile or so away, and at least I have some photos.
Appreciate the comments, thank you!

Leave the problem to New House building firms, they will build structure, which all look the same, like the ones at the side of the image. !!

Manchmal leiden die Gebäude an den Besitzverhältnissen, entweder besteht eine Erbengemeinschaft oder die Besitzer wohnen weit weg. Oder aber es besteht kein Interesse an dem Erhalt eines massiven Gebäudes.
Wenn das Dach erst eingestürzt ist, ist Vorsicht geboten.
Freundliche Grüße und einen guten Abend, Roger.

Thank you, Eric, probably bought by developers who allowed it to deteriorate with a view to demolition,

Hi Roger
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
Wonderful and interesting composition
Great story. It does make you wonder how long it must have bee in that state before you got there.. Looking on Streetview it would appear it was due for demolition anyway to make way for a new housing estate, the first of which are visible in the background of your picture.
Best Wishes, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!

Many thanks Peter, It was I understand due for restoration which I have to assume was exactly what the builders may not have wanted, so it was left to fall apart, The end section collapsing on the day of my visit was enough to get the lovely old building condemned, It was now passed economic restoration costs!
