LOL!!

I'm the same- specs on, specs off, specs on ......... !

I noticed the gate on Wellwynd had been closed (never seen it closed for as long as I can remember), but I parked in the car park and the barriers around the front of the church didn't affect the wee entrance at the time.

If you turn into the flats/care home? behind the back churchyard, you get a great view of what's going on.

I spoke to some of the workers last week but they hadn't a clue what had happened to anything which was on the inside - hopefully the memorial will be being cared for somewhere. Maybe the chap who posted earlier will keep us informed of what's happening.

Hi,

Memorial stone and a few columns are in safe keeping for reinstatement in the refurbished buillding.

I will post details when finalised but likely to be next year.

Just by sheer co-incidence, I have been pestering both the owners and the architects who are 'dealing' (for lack of a better expression) with Wellwynd Church for access to photograph the War Memorial Plaques which are still within this church.

I shall keep pestering requesting access as I'd hate to think these plaques will conveniently vanish along with so many others which have ended up on scrap heaps etc.

As Architect 'dealing' with the project, I have never been contacted regarding access to photograph the War Memorial. I have documented the building thoroughly photographically and have had the utmost consideration for retaining as much of this historic building as practically possible. It is a shame that the process has taken so long and so much vandalism and deterioration has been incurred in the meantime. The parties involved have done a tremendous job in order to ensure the long term sustainability of the building as an important part of Airdrie Town Centre.

The War Memorial is to be carefully removed and stored in order to be re-incorporated in the foyer of the new building, something which was given prioriy from the outset.
