Ballantine's Distillery brick tower during demolition
The view is from Riverside Lane. The tower is greatly reduced as compared with its appearance in Image, although that picture was taken only 22 days earlier; the removal of the building, though it had long been delayed, proceeded quickly.
See Image and linked pictures for a sequence of images showing the progress of demolition.
For the construction that later took place on the cleared site, see Image
