Will Greenock's 'sleeping giant' ever be awoken

BBC News - Will Greenock's 'sleeping giant' ever be awoken?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-67920606

I still despair that anyone allowed a housing estate to be built right next to this critical asset.

We helped a bit with the writer of the piece including sending numerous photos and putting them in touch with other people.

I know its a hole and a mighty big one at that, but surely they cant just fill in part of history.
Mindyou what on earth could they use that space for and just how much earth would be required to fill it in ?   
I was amused to see the chunk that was removed so the Queens could be fitted in.

From the moment you first glimpsed the Queen,
 you just knew you were in for a very special time ahead.!

That was Clydebank, the dry dock is in Greenock!
