Me neither. Most of the early pictures I have ever seen are in black and white but I feel sure I have seen one in rather garishly rendered colour. I will try to find it.

This is one I took in December 2003. Not the best but well before the lift was built, the beach widened and that precarious looking structure fell down. I will continue the search for the other one.

Great. Thanks.

It looks an impressive building compared to the normal houses that are just painted white, so it must have stuck out like a sore thumb.

I have quite a few photos of the building from 2008-2019 that I’m going to upload at some point so you all can see the rate of decline . I’ve picked a few good ones the roof completely collapsed by 2015

A9NDY - that's the one I was looking for. Thanks. Looking forward to your furthercontributions. There is in fact one tiny area of green remaining, just above that left hand door.

Nothing to see at the moment. The building is completely shrouded in netting and hidden behind tall fences. Work obviously continues inside, judging by the amount of stuff being left on site, but high up so it can't be nicked.

Picture taken earlier today. Absolutely nothing can be seen of what they are doing inside. Loads of cement and other building materials outside.

Nnothing to report. The building is completely hidden behind tall fences and screens. Any work is impossible to see

Maybe tomorrow, Sunday, when they are not working I can see if I can peep over the top of one of the fences.

Went past this morning. Site still shrouded in wrappings. No visible or audible sign of activity. I wonder?
