Meantime Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 Your both on the right lines now, but its not Herbert Woods boatyard. I guess the bonus of doing it well, is that people don't notice it on first glance, but I'm sure lots of people have been past them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNog Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Been scratching my head over this one, bit like JF's pubs but harder! Would North or South be too much of a give away??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised someone hasn't got it yet. A lot of people will have gone past them, and if you've seen them, properly seen them, you would know almost immediately from the clues already given. From reading the holiday tales, one of the moderators has been past them recently, but did he see them? He certainly wouldn't have seen through them! That should help a little with the location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a number of years it looked quite derelict with many broken windows. A few years back they started work to smarten it up, I thought they were converting it into more flats, but it would appear the work was done to make the building more visually pleasing to the eye, possibly for their neighbours opposite and upriver. With the announced closure of the whole facility I'm sure at some stage in the future it will become more apartments. They really do look quite good and at first glance easy to mistake for proper windows. Heading downriver, even the windows on the side of the building have been done. So hands up, how many people have been past, and not noticed? Bet you'll check next time you go past! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Have you seen the ones where they scaffold a building, then hang a drop on the scaffolding with essentially a large photo of the building printed on to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's actually very popular in Rome when they renovate a building they wrap the scaffolding in a picture of the building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRascal Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Shows How much I don't know as I believed is was already all converted into flats and how well it had been done. I hope when it really is converted (and not pulled down) they make the real windows look this nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 How long have those ‘windows’ been like that? They really are good but I have never noticed them. Something to look for on the next trip into the City. Good one ECIPA and well done dnks34. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was smartened up when the Brennan Bank apartments went up opposite by the Norwich City football ground. I did wonder at the time if the work was paid for or at least prompted by Taylor Wimpey who built the apartments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
