It’s almost as if they are doing it on porpoise!!

The offices where that drive slowly sign is was known as the police offices when I was there in the 80s, 90s, 2000s, they were derelict and the Cross nightclub moved into the arches below which had been used for storage up till then, The granary was used as storage for all kinds of goods, but again had been mostly empty for years, one area on the first floor was a large open plan office for clerks to record the goods coming into and leaving the warehouse, I was lucky to see the place before it got cleared out and some of the ledgers were still there on the desk at the head of the office, a bit pigeon pooed but inside the listings were in perfect condition, if you got onto the roof of the granary there were short lengths of bright orange plastic chain to twirl above your head as this was a nesting area for Herring Gulls, if you didn't twirl a chain you would probably get attacked and end up with a nasty head wound, apparently the gulls had followed the barges from the docks and finding plenty of food at the warehouse they had made it a permanent home. there were also a couple of Peregrine Falcons that nested high on the front of the Granary building and sometimes as you walked across the yard the sky would explode with feathers as another pigeon became dinner for them. The yard during the week was a bustling hive of activity, from the outside some thought it was just an empty wasteland where druggies and prostitutes hung out, but in reality, it was full of mostly small but some quite large independent businesses, at the weekend, when it was mostly quiet, you could sit in parts of the yard and it seemed as if you were miles away from civilization, the sky was massive as there were no high rise buildings nearby, eventually, the evening would come, and the crowds would start drifting in for the night at Bagleys, then in the morning after the last clubber had gone home the tranquility returned for a while at least.

The Scala, offering a club, bar and cinema and more was a short walk away. "No trespassing" signs were clearly visible, but chains lacked padlocks and security guards were not patrolling often. The artists and artisans had an area, but much was seemingly abandoned, bored older teens like ourselves got a sense of adventure taking a stroll through areas we weren't meant to be in.

Hey Jago, you could dig a little deeper on this one: For a redevelopment, it is absolutely outstanding in its taste, preservation of industrial aesthetic and history. How exactly did this happen? Who did it? What else have they done? Normally there is way, way more demolition and glass put into these things. It's more like they evolved the buildings and spaces than redeveloped them. Some people have been wondering if the developers / architects were forced to preserve so much or if they are just run of the mill geniuses
