Their "Lashkar" (small army) fought well against the invaders but eventually the Lashkar lost to a more numerous invading army. As a result, these Mujahideen were buried in the graveyard, opposite Qatta Baaz Baba Masjid, in Maskeen Abad. The Lashkar commanders were buried in the Sadoo Khel Masjid, which are now concreted over and not visible.

Despite their reusability and repairability, old panels often are landfilled. However, the city of Victoria, Canada is stockpiling removed pavement light panels for future restoration projects. Often, individual broken sidewalk prisms are not replaced, but instead, the opening is filled with concrete or other opaque materials, such as metal, wood, and asphalt. When a building is renovated, vault lights may be removed or concreted over.

There are two busts above the first floor windows, one of the actor and theatrical producer David Garrick, and the other of William Shakespeare. The cobbles in High Cross were concreted over when Queen Elizabeth II visited the city in the 1970s, and they were restored afterwards. A multi-storey car park nearby has the name "High Cross". The area has also been noted for its high number of anti-social behaviour incidents.

These were also manually driven until 1929, when for the first time mechanical propulsion was provided within the yard by a battery-driven locomotive (the first of an eventual total of eight to be provided by Greenwood & Batley Ltd). The tramway ceased operation in 1960 following the acquisition of a number of electric road tractors and trailers; much of the rail network was then lifted and the routes concreted over to form roadways.

The Stadtwerkstatt in Linz, Upper Austria was founded in 1979 by students from the art university and cultural activists. First initiated as a reaction to the main square being "concreted over", the Stadtwerkstatt developed into a center of culture and communication that has been located since 1990 in Alt- Urfahr. The Stadtwerkstatt regularly holds music events, but also organizes other artistic and cultural activities. It is often involved with large performances, installations and actions in public space.

On 20 August 1955 Roots Hall hosted its first match, against Norwich City. The ground was declared open by the Secretary of the Football Association, Sir Stanley Rous. The ground remained the youngest in the Football League until the opening of Scunthorpe United's Glanford Park in 1988. Roots Hall's construction had not been completed when the ground was opened, with some stands only running for a short distance along the touchline and others waiting to be concreted over.

Wiltshire White Horses: lighting up the horses at wiltshirewhitehorses.org.uk, accessed 10 October 2016 In the 1950s the horse was concreted over by Westbury Urban District Council, apparently as a way to save on long-term maintenance costs. Since then, the concrete has greyed over time, and it was thoroughly cleaned in 1993. In 2003, the horse was vandalised when "Stop This War" was written in yellow across the horse in capital letters in protest of the Iraq War.

It lies on a north-south axis with a slight curve, passing over Chester Burn. The viaduct was built to cross Chester Burn (also known as Cong Burn), then a centre of activity with both industrial and residential properties around its banks. In 1955 to establish a new market the area east of the viaduct was cleared and the burn concreted over below the viaduct. More recently a Tesco superstore was built, and its carpark occupies the space beneath the arches today.

Most of the verandah floors have since been concreted over, but sample areas of the wood blocks have been retained at the south-west corner. The undersides of the eaves were originally lined in Tanalith treated saplings, but where the verandahs are now fully enclosed the ceilings have been lined with timber veneer panels. The window frames are all bronze anodised aluminium, again the same colour used at the National Gallery in Melbourne. Inside, the main spaces of the house have been floored in cork tiles.

All of the windows possess the original reveals, as do all of the doors. The chancel south wall has two blocked window openings: the westernmost one is blocked by the stair turret while the easterly one is cut through by 14th century curvilinear window. The South Transept window is a work of art by Leonie Seliger, commissioned in 2002, which replaced the original windows which was damaged by incendiary bombs in the Second World War. The window had been bricked up and concreted over in 1952.

Later alterations and additions over the years have been mainly located in these perimeter edges of the house in the form of rooms and glazing. Most of the timber block verandah floor was concreted over after it began to deteriorate and made wheelchair access by a family member difficult. Metal sleeves have been attached to many of the verandah columns and beams to prevent bush-rat entry. The only original furniture to remain in the house are fixed pieces, such as the dining table and desk in the Main Hall.

Because the largest part of the Heimkehle was covered at that time with a contiguous lake, it was negotiated in boats. From 1944 the German Army turned the cave into a bombproof production site for the Dessau Junkers Factory, who had parts for the Ju 88 and other products manufactured here. V-weapons were also supposed to have been produced here. Initially large parts of the lake were concreted over and three production halls and several tunnels built, of which the largest could even be used by lorries.

The Chequers Parade, including the Costcutter and Hopper & Babb's butcher, which are probably among the most commonly used shops. The Sprinters Fitness Centre, opened in 2003 after delay, boosted the local economy. Despite the development of Prestwood, and the local area as a whole, the village retains picturesque fields and rolling hills. By the 1960s, the last brickworks in the village had closed and many of the orchards had been concreted over; however, the former orchid site at Perks Lane was reclaimed by the local council and turned into a nature reserve and picnic site.

For instance, the floor of New York's mostly-demolished old Pennsylvania Station was made of vault lights, to let light through the concourse floor onto the platforms. The undersides of the lights can still be seen, but the tops have been concreted over (see images).Photo, 2015 While some cities have preservation measures for vault lights, others actively remove them and fill areaways. Sometimes the outside appearance of the lights is retained while filling the areaway and setting the lights in a concrete pad, removing their daylighting function.

The north door into the nave (main entrance, facing the village) was renewed and a porch added, while windows and pillars in the aisled nave were altered. The low chancel screen was installed, with evidence that there was at some time another screen above it. In 1599 the altar slabs were removed by order of Queen Elizabeth I. The remains of a Medieval one of Sussex Marble, partially concreted over, can be seen just inside the chancel, by the screen. 1819\. The west door was added, and a gallery built at west end. 1826\.

Several attempts were made over the years to remove or demolish the dam, but it proved very sturdy, even to dynamite. The center of the dam top was dislodged by dynamite in the mid 1900s and in the late 80s was concreted over to allow large debris flows over the dam and lessen possible damage. The mill was one of the first homes in the area to have electricity, powered by the dam itself and provided milling services for much of the valley. The mill has undergone several attempts to maintain the structure after several, very destructive storm seasons.

Apart from the 457 yard circumference greyhound track itself a main double level grandstand was built on the home straight featuring club and tote facilities. There were two more additional stands to the left and right of the main grandstand and as the patrons entered the stadium from the new car park they would pass the resting kennels and to the left of these (behind the fourth bend) there were another 200 centrally heated brick resident stadium kennels. Within a couple of months of opening a busy schedule of racing was held on Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday nights at 7.45pm. After the war speedway came to an end and the track was concreted over and used as a parade area for the greyhounds as business boomed.

The old speedway track was eventually concreted over to allow spectators to get closer to the playing area and for the erection of the dugouts in front of the main stand. A new squash complex constructed in the opposite corner to the main turnstiles was opened in 1980, but was later sold off to recuperate some of the debt owed by Hastings United. In 1985 Hastings United folded and Hastings Town moved in from the old upper pitch, now called the Firs, with the ground receiving minor refurbishment work to represent the club colours of red and white. By the 1990s the two Elphinstone Road end stands were in poor condition, with the stand directly behind the goal receiving a major renovation in the mid 1990s whilst the other stand was closed to spectators, before eventually being demolished by 2000.

As had been the case with Lynda, Cooper died from strangulation or asphyxiation, before her body was dismembered and buried in a shallow, cubical grave in the cellar. Over the following 17 months, four further victims between the ages of 15 and 21 suffered a similar fate to that endured by Gough and Cooper, although the disarticulation conducted upon each successive victim, plus the paraphernalia discovered in each shallow grave, suggests each victim was likely subjected to greater abuse and torture than those previously murdered. Following the murder of 18-year- old Juanita Mott in April 1975, Fred concreted over the floor of the entire cellar. He later converted this section of the household into a bedroom for his oldest children, and he and his wife are not known to have committed any further murders until May 1978, when Fred—either with or without Rose's participation but certainly with her knowledge—murdered an 18-year-old lodger named Shirley Robinson.

He died in 1966 and, in the following year, his brother Christopher also died. In 1967, a kitchen and bathroom showroom was opened at Millbank and, after erratic growth during the 1960s, turnover topped £1M for the first time in 1970. During the mid-1970s Elliott Brothers became the first point-of-sale computerised builders' merchant in the country. Both computerisation and mechanical handling contributed to increased efficiency. Although staff numbers only increased from 40 in 1938 to 90 in 1973, turnover over the same period increased 25-fold. By 1970, as result of its continuing expansion, the company needed to find more space at its Millbank headquarters. of tidal mud-land was therefore purchased from Southampton Council and a £75,000 scheme of land reclamation was put into operation. The reclaimed area was concreted over and the project work, which was completed in 1973, nearly doubled the area of the Millbank site. To facilitate overseas trade, a new company, EB (International) Ltd was formed in 1974.
