The south of Yambol is an interesting area just before hitting the River Tundzha. Lots of new developments are taking place, but there is still lots of old buildings still standing. this won't be for long I fear. This little corner building is unique, but at the same time typical of some of the sites still around right now.
Yambol is not the prettiest City in Bulgaria, but it does have a unique character which is now in the process of being captured by camera. What you see now in Yambol will be short lived in a world of change, especially with the EU strangling the heart and soul of Bulgaria's culture with directives and uniform regulations.

Very unique shape...sad to think that many of these won't be around.
ReplyDeletethat's my friend's grandfather's workshop and shop just next door :D:D
ReplyDeleteA very unique looking building. I hope it will be around for a few years longer.
ReplyDeleteSo intriguing. It almost looks like a sand castle.
ReplyDeleteUnique`little place. I hope it survives.
ReplyDeleteThese are very original indeed! Great picture - I haven't seen in a while such an interesting building. Bye and greetings from Croatia.
ReplyDeleteOh I hope they don't demolish all of them! Like this one — it has a very unique shape. Even the steps going down to the door is interesting.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your commnets.
ReplyDeleteI also hope this building stays - It should be listed really but forward thinking like this isn't really Bulgaria at all. It is all for today and tomorrow will take care of itself. You only have to look at the Black Sea Coast overdevelopment to know abou this.
Nadia - It's a small world isn't it?
Martin-very 1930's. Glad to see you also have the same spiders web of electricity cables that we do.
ReplyDeleteyup yup i cant wait until i go back in june :D:D
ReplyDeleteAre they replacing old buildings in a rush to modernize? They'll regret it further down the road. Lovely old building.
ReplyDeleteno, not really... this one is private owned and people live in it, i think... the old buildings usually stay- some old old houses are knocked down and appartment blocks are built- im not really too impressed with that building...its a little in ruins :)
