This is a biggy.
In the space of a couple of days, the following has happened:
There is brand spanking new Heras fence stretching from the Chapel, right the way along the back of the site and around Villas 1/2/3, Parklands, Oaklands/Lakeview, Cavell and Nightingale House. Cavell House is being stripped (at least it looks that way) and there is a huge pile of debris in front of Lakeview and behind the patients Social Centre. There are trucks, a Matbro forklift and diggers on site as well as workmen, two of whom were attaching lights to the rear of the buildings, and one up on a roof near the patient's Social Centre stripping the tiles off. We spoke to one of the guys trying to attach light fittings and he said the place was coming down 'soon'.
Masefield has had the roof totally stripped, and Kipling was being stripped inside as we watched.
Dark days indeed. The place is crawling with workmen at the moment on the west side.
The back of Villa 3
Looking towards the site from the side of Villa 3
Pile of debris in front of the Social Centre
Crap pics of workman on the roof (long zoom and no tripod = fail)
Between a couple of the Villas
'Fixed' fence behind Parklands
Tower with Estates building
Digger on the road down to Huxley/Henty (spot the builder!)
Kipling being stripped
Masefield with no roof
Sorry to bring this update to you guys
