The Site From Above

Courtesy David Kay and his drone, here is the water tower and its extensions from directly above.



 Like most building sites it is something of an untidy mess just yet but we are getting there.  It is sometimes difficult to recognise things from an unfamiliar angle - in this case from straight overhead.

For general orientation we have the Settle station driveway top right and the end of The Sidings road on the left.  In both cases the double yellow lines are visible.

The large oblong thing just above centre is of course the original water tower with the roof  room inside the tank showing as a white roof.

Below the tower and to the right is a smaller white roof with clutter on it for now - mostly the parapet wall cladding panels waiting to be modified then installed on the parapet ends of the new extension, the dark coloured roof below.

The scale of the new extension can be clearly seen.  Less evident is the fact that from most public viewpoints it is all but invisible.

I was curious about the two brown circles, bottom left of the new black roof.  Thinking about them I just could not imagine what they could be.  Surely the roofers hadn't dumped something there had they?  Arrow down a bit for the answer.   
Since seeing this picture I have shamed myself into clearing up the mess on the annex roof.  The sheets of black Visqueen which had been a temporary roof covering are no longer there.  Slightly surprised that Beresfords Roofing of Skipton simply dumped them there for my amusement.
Anyway, back to those two piles of I knew-not-what.  they were

Pine needles, blown there and deposited by the wind.  It will be interesting to see if the phenomenon happens again.
