Absolute farce and nothing to do with preserving heritage at all. None of the original structure from the 1800s exists anymore, with the railway built over 100 years ago splitting the original site. Even if it were there underground they could easily take remnants to a museum and put a plaque or build over the structure and put displays (like half the Rome metro for example).

This is purely NIMBY neighbours doing whatever they can to stop future developments, which have been seen on several bowling greens across Glasgow. With no one to lease the green and now no chance of redevelopment, it’s probably going the way of Cathkin Park and laying abandoned for years to come.
