The house hasnt been demolished but why does the picture of it on google earth now show a plat piece of land with a small green square, it has shown BB7 so it cant be pre BB?

The trapezium fence is still there, oddly enough.

Came across this image back in September, its before it was even bulit which is odd as the house used to be there.

that's odd cuz it was the same with the USA house except when it showde that studio you could obiously see the back yard i just checked last year and that part was gone just another studio in CBS Studios

The structure you can see in the picture is a huge covered water tank that warner brothers built to film scenes for moby dick the water was drained from it and the bb house built on top of it (well actually inside it). The shape of the bb compound (trapezium) is because that was the shape of the concrete tank.
Parts of dam busters were filmed there too.
The house is still there if/when it is removed its planned the water tank would still be usable for any future needs.
The first couple of bb series at elstree the housemates apparently complained a lot about the amount of flies and insects etc. this was because although the pool was drained there was still thought to be stagnent standing water under the floor of the house and the house being relocated is also why after a couple of attempts they also had to give up on having a real lawn.

The image is old. The house hasn't been demolished. If it had we would know about it.
