Demolition site, Torquay
Taken 17 months after Image A ruined building, numbers 50-52 Rock Road (above) has been removed, revealing further buildings behind. The site is enclosed by a high fence. Neighbourhood Plan proposals http://torquaynp.org/ currently out for consultation have, as you might expect, highlighted this area for redevelopment.

Balconies above Rock Road, Torquay
These are at the rear of houses fronting onto Melville Street. This might be considered one of Torquay's less salubrious residential areas, but these windows must have an excellent view.

Derelict building, Rock Road, Torquay
What remains of this building (which occupies a large site between Rock Road and Melville Street, above) looks pretty solid. But even the estate agent's notice seems to have given up on it. From a Torbay Council report: "The Methodist Chapel site between Melville Street and Rock Road ... has long been derelict. An imaginative development here, in keeping with the character and local distinctiveness of the conservation area, could be a first step in the badly needed regeneration of the sub-area."

Derelict building, Rock Road, Torquay
See Image and Image Much of the undergrowth (Buddleia, I think) has been cleared, but the ivy continues to spread. A notice attached to the fence refers to this site as a former laundry. The notice calls for expressions of community interest in using this and other sites in Torbay.
