changes in Farnborough on Way to field

hi

Getting off the train at Farnborough if you remember 2 years ago things have
changed a lot . The STATION is the same but walking up theA325 Things are much Different . On the Right the glass concept 2000 building has gone to make way for Blocks of Flats and Houses. The majority of the town centre empty for years has been Demolished and loads more will be soon. Where you walk under the A325 to the council offices that to will Soon be a building Site for a new cinema . Just past the offices going up towards the Old RAE entrance you will see a new Housing Estate going in more And more flats . BARONS the Car people on the opposite side should by then have crossed over into new showrooms .
All the road and pavements been up for months at least the Swan Pub is still there under new Management Walk past FAST Museum you will come to a new hotel being Built 5 STAR then you get to where the Bridge and gates into the field are or might be we cannot tell as all this Area is a massive construction site new roads and more FLATS HOUSES FLATS and more Further along as far as the Roundabout . MR PLOD and co are often there handing the local Spotters there mandatory piece of paper why there being stopped all in all Farnborough is a big building Site all round the airfield .
