You can see from this how the old buildings were just knocked in on themselves, rubbish and all, then just filled over

I was hoping somebody may be able to get some information from the postcard, despite my rushed pictures, there is a picture of a large building on the front but i cant make it out, crazy to think 1954 is nearly 70 years ago

The excavation of the building will start once the facade (front) of the building is securely braced, that has to be saved

Saved a couple of these

Some old finds from under floorboards dismantling the building, an old postcard and a couple of reciepts of some sort
