Ground floor concrete, the annex takes shape, so too the garden

This is the upper floor of the annex taking shape. The doorway will lead out onto a bridge, connecting with the embankment. This is just the blockwork. The finished building, when clad in metal and glass, will be of ultra modern and stylish appearance.

Concrete is being laid on the ground floors of the main tower and of the annex. Tim the apprentice has the hard job.

This shot, looking south along the top of the embankment, shows its flat plateau - now cleared of trees and vegetation.

Two lorry loads of concrete cover what will be the areas of the main bedroom and bathroom. 4 or 5 more lorry loads still to be laid. The concrete has come from Lancaster. A spinning laser beam ensures things are dead level. Note the reinforcement mesh and the damp proofing and radon barriers.
