Well I'm glad I photographed this row when I did. I think "iconic" is perhaps stretching things a little though... 🏚️💥👷🏼

I'm not sure what's more surprising, that this row of shops and flats in West Granton has been left abandoned for over 16 years, or that it's not yet mysteriously burned down in all that time 🤔

I’m thinking of lobbying Andy Burnham to get the word ‘iconic’ outlawed and its use results in a custodial sentence.

I was on Glasgow planning committee for 10yrs. If the applicant used the word 'iconic' I would do everything I could to get that application refused. Nothing I saw in those 10 yrs ever qualified as potentially iconic.

Everything that closes or is demolished is either "iconic" or "much loved" in Reach Newspeak.
