Assorted Updates to the site.

December 23, 2009
I have discovered and corrected a glitch in the "Future Projects" page. When anyone tried to return to ghost-of homepage from this page, they ended up at some strange domain registration site. The link has been fixed and works as it should do.

The future projects page has been updated to include details of the "Past2Present" and "Tram53" projects. A web page for the Tram53 project will be constructed in due course.

Additional pictures have been added to West Park Internal page.
Additional pictures have been added to West Park External page.
Page constructed detailing the wards at West Park along with various freaky pictures and strange rooms etc.
All photos used in the West Park pages so far have been condensed where appropriate to aid loading speeds.

The demolition of Connaught House in Melbourne Street, Brighton has commenced. Photos taken 22/12/09 have been stitched and uploaded to the site, pending addition into the Melbourne Street page.

I am currently working on a draft of a page for Hints and Tips for ghost-of, which is being assembled in Word and Dreamweaver and will be uploaded to the site once I am satisfied with the results.

About the Project Coordinator


ghost aka: Loz Russell Ninja photographer, editor, web designer, programmer and the maniac who started all this off in the first place almost a decade ago! I just can't let this project slip because I feel so strongly about the complacency of the people of the UK in their need to destroy, remove and replace perfectly serviceable buildings (albeit with a little care and attention to detail). Most of these buildings could be pressed easily into alternative useage and easily modernised rather than replaced, such is the strength and longevity of Victorian Architecture. Where most of today's structures have a life of just 35 years at the very most, The Victorians considered that their creations were the last word in construction and would be there for a very long time to come. So, when they disappear or are threatened with removal as so many of the abandoned structures in this project are/were, it is nice to have some sort of record of them, hence the undeniable purpose of my crusade.
