A beautiful day on Tyneside and the demolition/destruction of the “Get Carter” car park in Trinity Square, Gateshead nears its 5th week. Hard to quantify progress in terms of a percentage but suffice it to say, the days of this fine structure’s domination of Gateshead’s skyline are well and truly numbered. It’ll be a matter of a few more weeks, I imagine, until they’re finished. The sections they’ve removed so far are all on the side of the car park that faces Newcastle - approaching the car park from the other side it almost looks like nothing’s happened. The roof level, originally intended as a restaurant in both the movie and reality, is now detached from the walkway on the left and if you look closely, orange ticket machines are just about visible (just ‘above’ the trees). Wonder if they were emptied first…
