Lost Edinburgh

I find myself mesmerised by the beautiful symmetry of this half-demolished Glasgow tenement and exposed chimney flues. Pure art.

@TomDuffinPhotos @brw51 Nice one, Tom. I signed up over the weekend there! No, nothing in the way of updates regading the sphere. There were plans for a luxury hotel brand to open up there (replacing TopShop and TLodge) but all gone quiet on that front.

@TomDuffinPhotos @brw51 Thank you, Tom. I'm very proud to have played a part in that. And you were there with Denes to capture it going back. Some fabulous photos.

@SimplySahm Not sure of the exact year, but reckon it's promotional material from very early 1990s. Here's another one:

Leisure Pool at Wester Hailes, 1990s - fun times!

@liamgallagher Aye, imagine that LG x

All this talk of an Oasis reunion has reminded me of the interview I did with Ayako Misawa (the Japanese woman who filmed them at King Tut's in '93) for Glasgow Live last year.

@Juniorgladwin @ThePrideBridge I'll have a rummage but I think those are the only ones I've seen too

@LiamRudden @petshopboys @boylondon You're very welcome. Great to catch up again, albeit far too brief. Cap really suits you, and glad you like it 😎

It was all that "eins, zwei, drei" nonsense that got us all nervous in the first place

@AndyMitchMedia @NotInSeddon @Fitba150 @Hampdeners @DeeOhh @GabyMcKay Apology for what, Andy? All I did was follow up on a report by the Scottish Sun that the Hampden Collection 'believed' they 'could have' found the home of Scottish football. It got folk talking, if nothing else.

@Colin_Fergus Agh, that's a bit of a gut punch to hear. I was hoping they would at least preserve the old fittings, but they've opted to destroy destroy destroy instead.. nice.

@TomDuffinPhotos Quality writeup there! Always my favourite Edinburgh photographer.

[Lost Edinburgh @lostedinburgh]

@Colin_Fergus I'm trying to think.. Love a vintage interior. I was going to say the old fish shop on Morningside Road with all the old ceramic washing basins, but I think that closed down fairly recently..

Last night I fulfilled a 7+ year promise to Dave McLean to get a Big Moon or Big Sun shot behind the Forysth Sphere - as a gift to thank him for his Lost Edinburgh campaign to have it reinstated - sorry it took so long pal

@cocteautriplets @EdinReporter @SecretEdin @MichaelMacLeod1 I'm very sad to hear this, but thank you for letting us know, Andy. For anyone with even a passing interest in Edinburgh history/heritage, Peter's website was a spectacular resource, and the only show in town in the early days of the internet.

@MichaelMacLeod1 Let's cut them some slack, at least they know Baberton is in "..cities south-west" 😐

@JoHynd Fascinating stuff. It occurred on Nov 30th, 1959. The iron frame of the building had given way. This was just one week after the 'Penny tenement' collapse at Beaumont Place, Dumbiedykes. A worrying time for working class families in Edinburgh.

@JoHynd Not one I'm aware of (I don't think) but I can certainly take a look for you. Do you have the photo?
