[ste d' indica]

Blimey, they are really cracking on with the build now....

I had to Google it, just to check.

I mean, when you’re right, you‘re right. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Did a proper double take, it’s uncanny.

Tbh, I'm not a great fan of that sandstone dock wall. That could do with coming down. It isn't a very flattering angle for the stadium rising up beyond it. The new stadium shouldn't be hiding its light under a bushel, with visitors only getting a view of it once through the gateway. Yes, leave some part of it in place to emphasize continuity with the rest of the dock wall - underlining what the site once was - but not all of it.

They are listed...

That chimney bottom left really makes it look small doesn't it mate.

They are listed...

But surely part of the docks built on already was listed and has been lost forever? The dock has to be made good again if the club leaves the location IIRC?

The club can surely conserve them and put them back at a much later time?

It seems daft to build a stadium then have it unseen behind a wall.

I cant believe we've fallen for that.

Unseen.

Come on.

Sorry, it was Berwick Leisure Centre.

Only the tower and retaining walls are listed.

The dock itself kind of fell under the whole mercantile city heritage thing.

The wall isn't that big! It will be part of the appeal when done.

Closer. That reminds me more of the museum though.

The wall is listed, it can’t be touched.

The dock itself hasn’t been destroyed, just backfilled.

That might be my fault.

I’m a bit bored this evening.

You must never forget the angle of dangle, brought shame to many a man….
