POSSIBLE
PIGEON ROOSTING/NESTING SITE UNDER THREAT FROM DEVELOPERS IN
We have
been informed that a derelict building on Pottergate
is being used by pigeons as a roosting/nesting site and that contractors are
shortly due to move in to redevelop the site.
The building
is a large three storey brick built warehouse/factory type premises on the
junction of Pottergate and Fisher’s Lane.
There
are many broken windows and holes in the fabric allowing access for pigeons.
Witnessed many pigeons flying in and out of the building via these
apertures.
Noticed a further derelict building adjacent to this one, also with
broken windows. This is probably another
roosting place for pigeons.
Selling agent – Watsons,
Large
board displaying the words “Now Sold” affixed to side of building, visible from
Pottergate when coming from the city.
Our
informant has offered to collect any abandoned chicks to hand rear.
Further
information to follow. . .
