Gas explosion in Barberton

[Norwayhibs]

Just caught the end of a report on Sky news that a house had been destroyed in Barberton because of a gas explosion. The house is literally not there anymore. Two people living in the house have been sent to hospital

If you know the wee estate I live in the houses are exactly the same but a bit bigger.

Jack you were looking at a house in Findlay Grove.

The estate is bigger not the houses!

250 or so compared to around 100.

Both nice estates with a bit of community about them.

Wimpey houses across the dual carriageway from Wester Hailes. First ever job I worked on when they were getting built back in the early 70's.
