I need to collate a number of photographs of buildings I have worked on in order to drag my website into the here and now :computer:
:sunny:

Now rather than me driving around the country harming the eco system why not use a nationwide forum with members located all over!

So, If you pass any of these buildings below on your daily travels and are handy with a camera and dont mind taking a few shots then I dont mind offering some beer tokens in exchange for chosen shots/copyright etc.....

I dont need ALL of them, maybe 15-20 decent pics are worth more than one of each. So shout up if you fancy a go and Ill allocate that building to you....I usually pay between €5-€9for a car pic from the Ring. I dont mind equating that costing to this task. So no point travelling 60 miles to do it as it wont pay!!

Obviously my choice is final! /haz :computer:

You may need an exact address or pictorial view of said building to pick it out, but generally take it that they are all new and built within the last two years

I deal with the Cladding element so obviously this needs to be the focus of the pictures, some buildings are spectacular and stand out a mile being multi coloured others just blend in.....

1. *******Wakefield Civic Centre, Wakefield

2. Snowhill Station, Birmingham (Atik)

3. *** Marlborough Rd, Bristol

4. ** Orwell Quay, Ipswich

5. * Pandon Bank, Newcastle

6. * YMCA, Bridgewater

7. ** Collegelands, Glasgow

8. ** Gisbert Capp Building, Birmingham UNI (Vicky)


9. * Southside Youth Centre, Bath

10. * Forest Hill Pool, Lewisham

11. * BT Building, Plymouth

12. Novotel, Liverpool

13. Staybridge Hotel, Newcastle

14. * Fort Vale, Burnley

15. * Sir John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford. (POM)


16. Nom Daries, Telford

17. Eastbrook Sch, Sussex

The jobs marked with an asterisk are IMHO will be the rewarding ones to the arty people, these constitute different/large/multicoloured/multilayered Buildings.

I can drive past Snow Hill station's second entrance (http://g.co/maps/w7aa6) and take a few photos of that entrance if required, not practical for me to park up and go in though. Not sure if that's of any help.

Snowhill Station is round the corner from my workplace, though on the opposite route of my commute to work. But if it helps, I am happy to snap a few shots. Gives me an excuse to dust off the old camera! If you send me details of what area of Snowhill you want me to take shots of, I can try to get something sorted?

Yeah, Atik is much better equipped for taking pics, DSLR addict ;)

Cheers Atik,

There are two lifts inside, serving Platforms 3-4 and Platforms 1 -2 the boards that clad these are the ones in question....see the link below to the pic that the glazing manufacture took.

http://blog.pilkingtonselfcleaningglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/snow-hill-3.bmp

A closer shot would be nice than the one above! Also if you need to pay to enter I will reimburse your expense.

Cheers

Mike

OK Mike, I will have a look and see what I can sort for ya... Do you have a 'deadline' or anything as work is really hectic at the moment, so ideally I'd be out sometime next week with the camera.

It is indeed the Primary School, are you West Sussex County then Mark?

With it being a school I would imagine you may need to ask someone Mark. Your taking pics for the cladding installers/designers portfolio as such. Its their new extension. Again its the cladding pics I need.

Its the Cardiac Directorate Expansion? There should be 7 columns that span top to bottom of terracotta tiles on one elevation and 2 coloums on the adjacent(return elevation). I think they are a cream colour but i could be wrong, the colour wasnt 100% confirmed by the time I completed my work.

miller
22-02-2012, 10:56 AM
Yes thats the one Nick, Its a big building so am not expecting a full view! That building has some fancy terracotta and baguette tiling, some close up corner/balcony shots aswell as overall would be good!

I am Malc's son /Wyhy

As said above, I work on a site in Bath.
I also recently finished a major refurb just off Marlborough Street in Bristol, and am sure I will be visiting the site again shortly.
Plus I live just outside of Bridgwater, so if you require I can hit all of those buildings.

Which building is it in Bristol?

Hello!
It's Marlborough road in Bristol. 'High rise' building in multicoloured cladding boards, blues and greys....6-7stories high?

Much appreciated.

First time I have seen this thread. Can get Shaz to take some pics of the Plymouth one for you Mike. If it's where I think it is then she is close to it on Wednesday's when she goes Ice Skating. Can you confirm the exact location.........not sure it's used by BT anymore unless this is a new building somewhere else I am not aware of ?

Edit: Is this it Mike ?
