Merkins Avenue, Bellsmyre
The appearance of the buildings on this street has changed greatly in recent years. They looked very different about 30 years ago, when I passed through here more often.

Bellsmyre High Flats: demolition in progress
For a corresponding picture taken almost a year earlier, when the buildings were all intact, see Image In both views, the nearest building is Kinglass House.
In the present photograph, Endrick House is being dismantled, and Fruin House is already gone (compare the earlier view). The low building by the roadside is the recently-built Cutty Sark Community Centre, which occupies the same site as its predecessor, Howatshaws Hall.

Construction on new OLSP site
This was formerly the location of the Bellsmyre High Flats: Image The new OLSP (Our Lady and St Patrick's High School) is being built here; see also Image
The building already standing is the Cutty Sark Community Centre. It is not a part of the new OLSP construction; rather, it was built, not long before the high flats were demolished, as a replacement for the previous community centre, Howatshaws Hall, which stood on the same spot.

Bellsmyre High Flats: demolition in progress
The last to go was Kinglass House, shown here; compare Image The low building, left of centre, is the Cutty Sark Community Centre.
The present picture was taken on a Friday. The site of the flats is visible from hills in the area, so I was able to follow developments here while exploring other areas: on the Monday morning following, a stump of this building remained, but there was only a mound of rubble here by Wednesday (28th).
