Moata standing in a similar spot on Salisbury St, 5 years later. The footpath has fresh asphalt but the place where a building was is gravel, weeds and parked cards.
Moata standing in a similar spot on Salisbury St, another 5 years later. It's still an empty section but the weeds are bigger.
Moata standing in a similar spot on Salisbury St, yet another 5 years later. There is now a painted playwood fence blocking the view of the section but guess what? It's still just gravel back there.

I turn bright red and my heart hammers, in fact I’m a beastly coward but I do believe that a lot of people are, so I don’t mind!
