Hard to figure out what the architects intended here, isnt it? Where have all the people gone?
|
|
|
|
|
Abandoned furniture brightens up a dull walkway. |
|
More signs of life - litter everywhere! |
|
|
|
|
|
Well maintained signage - in places. |
|
Bin bags add the finishing touch to a barbed-wire cornice |
|
|
|
|
|
Attractive steel security shutters indicate that the Community Centre is (probably) closed today. |
|
Abronhill's charming olde-world pub |
|
|
|
|
|
Attractive exterior decor promises a warm welcome inside this Scottish tavern. |
|
Concrete, brick and steel boxes - architectural perfection! |
|
|
|
|
|
Right angles and straight lines create a pleasing harmony of form and function. If you are a robot. |
|
More right angles and straight lines - its easy to see where the architects were coming from, isn't it? But do I see a tree? Yes - what largesse! |
|
|
|
|
|
More fine examples of the concrete-pourers ancient craft, and another tree in the distance. |
|
The school dominates the skyline, with a bright splash of colour to add light relief. Corporation blue. |
|
|
|
|
|
Delightful rustic terraced housing, well-maintained private cottage gardens and mouldy fences. |
|
The ultra-modern health centre in Abronhill is a real credit to the NHS. Or eyesore, depending on which way you look at it. Useful supply of free masonry for fighting. The hill in front may be a plague mound. Or not. |
|
|
|
|
|
There are lots of suitable places for the kids to play. The favourite game is "dealers v. loan sharks". |
|
Functional, affordable, and attractive family housing. Welcome to Gulag 497, Block B5/6/7. |
|
|
|
|
|
Well planned open spaces and walkways, (but best avoided after dark). |
|
The library - a seat of lifelong learning and a model of disabled access. The car belongs to the librarian. |
|
|
|
|
|
Back to the future....Cell Block U2. But what was the crime? |
|
A cashpoint conveniently placed near the fast-food take-aways, off-licenses and betting shops. Well who would put a real bank here, seriously? |
|
|
|
|
|
More jokey banter brightens a dull pebbledash wall |
|
Excellent sports facilities, a little underused perhaps? I wonder who nicked the goalposts? Its good to see that the kids have a level playing field to play on...or do they? |
