What on earth are you waffling about? Just read another thread if you have no interest in this
I have neither the time or the crayons to explain....

Agreed.I have neither the time nor the brain cells to explain....
I know we've had this debate before but, since I think you're saying there are all these restoration plans, would it not be easier and cheaper to recreate the building in a new place as part of a new development? It seems ridiculous to try and save this place in it's current state and current location. I know it wouldn't quite be the same as the original but it would be an acknowledgement of the past that keeps getting mentioned.
I think the suggestion seems to be take it down and rebuild on the vaux site
Is the arbeit macht frei sign still in tact?
Yes, I just don't quite get why it has to be the actual building itself (which looks beyond any saving from whatever glory days it had). A recreatio would be cheaper and easier and if there is actually anything left in the original worth saving then you could incorporate it.I think the suggestion seems to be take it down and rebuild on the vaux site
Ouch.Is the arbeit macht frei sign still in tact?
Its called freedom of speech moron.^^ this.
In this modern day, it's all to easy to kick up a fuss (nay, a furore) for the slightest of things.
Social media can be a wonderful thing, but when you look at things like "Seaham Have Your Say" and "North East Foodies", it gives the idiots of the world a platform - and they actually think that because they have a voice, EVERY FUCKER must hear it.
This happened with Farage, Yaxley-Lennon, Len Lowther, Fransen & Trump.
In its most extreme and divisive form, we have subliminal infiltration (on social media) that leads to disasters like Brexit.
That's why it's called restoration.Sad but true. It looks pretty shit tbf.
It is disgraceful that the town that was once one of the largest producers of ships in the world, has absolutely nothing to honor the men and women who worked there. We should have a ship building museum built on the banks of the Wear, with this gatehouse as the main entrance.
Logon or register to see this image
A bit like the afore-mentioned Mr Clarke, then?
Get it knocked down and have the place re-developed - yards have been a deadzone for far too long. Any real "heritage" is long gone and we should have had a ship building museum and fully developed riverside leading into the town centre.
I thought i read the council were going to keep it but move it along the route of the new road?
Putting the president of the USA in the same sentence as len lowther just about sums you up..
