Philosophy At first this post might seem a little bland, but bear with me as it gets better across the entries, and I hope to add to continue adding to it. Building sites may seem a bit of a soulless if not strange thing to explore for their own sake, but I actually think it helps to remind us...

Hello, this is my first post. In 2015 I managed to get a little look around the old McNulty site on Commercial Road before it was knocked down. I wish I'd taken more photos at the time, but I was there through work and didn't anticipate putting the pics online at the time. I only have 4 photos...
