The end of an era...

Well, it's the end of the line for the Waterside Inn, scene of many an average chain-pub meal, and merry pint in the sunshine, overlooking the canal museum...the bulldozer cometh to make room for the new Guardian Newspaper building...(they are going to have to dig a very big hole, as apparently there is going to be an underground concert hall, I wonder how they are going to stop the water getting in!)



In the background you can just about pick out some of the narrow boats and the start of the considerable amount of outside seating they had..no idea where we are going to go on sunny Friday lunchtimes now! Canal 125 is the only place I can think of with outside seating, and that gets rather cramped when there are more than 10 people...oh well, we'll find somewhere! I think Sahara nights has got a roof garden, might have to check that out... ;)

On the left here you can see the start of the warehouses next door, they are all coming down too (not that I care much about that!)...
