And todays update , they do look like they are digging trenches on the site , woith lots of fenced off areas

Why is there a sign up for the superstore already?

Selling rubble

Every little helps.

Drilling and grouting now underway, the national grid are still working on the gas pipe, looks like they are moving it from under what will be Tesco.

grouting?? isnt that what you put between tiles? forgive my lack of knowledge

Beat me to it, that's what I thought too.

Grout I am told is ash thats left from coal fired Power stations, mixed with water and cement then pumped under pressure into the voids (under ground working, fissures, etc), When Pilks Greengate was built 40,000 ton of the stuff had to be pumped under ground, a record at the time for this country my mate informs me, (he was the boss of the ground work on that site).
Very little work left for the heavy machines now most now laid up, plenty off work being done on the trenches that have been dug for the museum people, overall the site is rather quiet.
Had a good chin wag with Mrs Futtocks this morning nice woman, she didn't have her camera, not a lot to see to be honest.

On first reading I thought you'd written 'Mrs Buttocks'.

You should have gone to Specsavers then.

all the pavements are open now, no barriers except on the site itself so we were able to take a few closer ones today

Seconded!

Thirded!

Must say the virtual pictures on the saints new stadium site look awesome, wish we could have a ground like that rather than the aluminium morgue we are stuck in.

Piccies from the site now the snow has gone

Can anyone get a shot inside K-Road?
They must be getting ready for removal of top soil for the new pitch.
