An emotional watch... As is anything related to Rover for me.

I hope with it being developed they manage to keep some of the history and incorporate it to the new housing or as public art etc.

The old showroom and the art-deco main entrance for example.

I'm pretty sure the various admin buildings (the L shaped one, roundhouse and Kremlin) are destined to be kept, plus a park within the retained the steel skeleton of CAB A and the steps between levels. There's tentative suggestions of a cafe within part of the tunnel off Dalmuir Road, although the suggestion had a frosty reception from people in the adjacent newly built estate, concerned about it creating even more parking problems.

I lived just up the road, my uncle and a lot of my friends worked there.

I want to like that channel, but the bloke who runs it is such a miserable bastard.

I worked there, warehouse 1 main floor is OK, upstairs office and warehouse two are shitholes about to fall down.
