DEMOLITION OF JOHN LYSAGHT'S AND OTHER HISTORIC BUILDINGS AT SILVERTHORNE LANE 

Great video dave .It would be nice to get under the packhorse pub cellar with that hidden street down their

3:12 Went past this spot a few weeks ago and the smell of creosote tar is overpowering. A lot of it must have leached into the ground from the former wood yard. At least a few of the older buildings are being re-used, so not all is lost.

I’ve stopped the video to nip onto Google Maps. If you look at Silverthorne Lane…about “No 4”. Directly opposite the very impressive old building is a set of barrier railings…when I was little, about 9 or so, you could go through and clamber up the steps to the top. It’s where my Dad’s old wooden cabin was. Where the guys would have their breaks. I don’t know if I told you Dave, but my dad would take us for rides on the goods trains. Sat with the train driver, pull the cable , magical train whistle would ensue. 🤓🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Thank you for all your hard work you are doing

I’m afraid it’s happening everywhere. Replacing everything with high rise students accommodation and apartments to live in.

Thank you for documenting this Dave , as sad as it is.

Terribly sad

That's a shame to see this disappear. Always felt like it gave the River Avon road character.
