Some girls hang about outside a chinese resturant. Reminds me of Spain, which I never visited.

Destruction of the Palace Hotel

Jan 202011

After some rather large cracks appeared on the exterior walls during some refurbishments (it was in the process of being turned into a brothel), the 124 year old Palace Hotel was quickly fenced off then destroyed in the early hours. Sad to see an old building come down but we certainly don’t have a shortage of “sex hotels” in this city.

Number 8 Turua Street St. Heliers

Jan 162011

This is probably one of the most photographed houses in Auckland lately, with its demolition approacing to make way for a brand new development. It’s been so photographed that yet another image of it may be redundant, but here one is, for more posterity. As you can see, there are now security fences up to stop … I’m not sure what, as you can just walk around them.
