| | | Now that is a real shame, that location was great although I am not quite sure why they would save part of it.

| | | Nice to see that they intend to at least keep part of it. I just hope it doesn't get an 'accidental' nudge by the demo crew.

| | | Wow.. didn't see this coming, I really liked that location too.. Those future plans seem a bit strange, but I guess they want to keep the front part just so they can say its still Barra Castle in the end... [last edit 6/29/2010 3:18 AM by Brian_n - edited 1 times]

| | | WTF all the best stuff was in the part they tore down. What a token savior. I think i would have preferred a re-creation to the proposed eyesore. I bet they didnt save any of the old stonework from the gardens and fountain either.

| | | Checked her out this weekend. Nothing doing. She's sitting, but there's been people on the site for a while. Bad people. New 'modernising' it type people. Why can't they just leave it alone in it's beautiful (ish) decay? ~sniffle~
It seemed like a good idea at the time. |

| | | I am not a big fan of mixing old architecture with the new but in some cases it grows on me.....but this is just ridiculous.
