The BEFORE and AFTER Thread

That's Alexander Street in Dundee. I think that's about the fourth or fifth set to be demolished in Dundee in the past year or so.

I believe the remaining pair in the background are going next.

Your Before and After's...

These pics are AWESOME! REALLY! The reason I do what I do (ie; Urb-Ex) is because I love the history of a place n these are fantastic!!! I often wonder what places/rooms/etc looked like in their prime n these have captured (and answered) that beautifully!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Is that Odeon on Oxford Road? I kind of recognise it but totally don't!!! The dumb thing is I used to work on Oxford Road too! Manchester bares no resemblance now to when I worked there.

Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant Market square ,,,,,, the market hall has gone and I couldn't get behind the wall to get the right angle.

1885 Horse Market ,,,,, bearing in mind that this is in the depths of Wales and it's a small country village I think everybody is extremely well dressed, even the boy in centre has a waistcoat.

As the water level is a bit low I went to Lake Vyrnwy yesterday to see if any of the submerged village had been revealed,, but it needs to lose about another 50' before the village will be revealed,,,,so this was all I could get,,,,,,

This shows the importance of taking pics of places before they are lost

The old village can be seen on the stretch of higher ground in the mid-distance as the lake was filling 1889

I couldn't get low enough to match the vantage point

Eunant Hall at the head of the lake, before it was demolished and submerged by the waters of the Vyrnwy Dam. The newly constructed Eunant bridge is seen to the right. The following pic was taken from that new bridge,,, there's not a lot left of the house!!

A lot remains to be found when the water level drops,,,,two chapels, three inns, ten farmhouses, and 37 houses were all lost to the reservoir,,,Could everybody in Liverpool turn on their taps please

,,,,,,

Here is a short video of the village underwater ,,, http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00gmpjm

Thanks for that Jools that video is just spooky.At least they left the buildings standing when they flooded the valley,poor old Mardale in the lakes had the indignity of being demolished by the army and then used for bombing practise by the airforce

I'd forgotten what a brilliant thread this is, and when I was out on my recent railway ramble I came across the old Llantrisant Colliery winding house. There's a bit of history associated with this old building and I was saving it for a future explore, but hey it's Easter and I'm feeling generous!
