Re: Re: well what about the developments popping up in the shannonside ?

In would be great to see Bannatynes mill getting a new lease of life,its such an interesting building but has been pretty forlorn looking for quite a while now,it should definately be central to the new developments that will inevitably spring up in the docklands over the next couple of years. The future of Ranks Silo is less clear, this is the large tower type structure near bannatynes mill, the city council have indicated that ideally they would like to see the building preserved although their call has got a fairly luke warm response, especially from developers as they say the number of potential uses for the building is quite limited. Apparently its one of only 3 such structures remaining in this country, im not sure how true that is! No doubt we’ll be hearing a lot more of this!

Incidentally a restoration project was carried out on a similar building to Bannatynes mill a couple of years back, this is the old corn mill on shannon street, next to the savoy development!
