11. Machine house roof going on.
Steel window frames stacked against the water tower with slates stacked nearby, annexe walls in progress with the shuttering in place for the next layer. These concrete walls were particularly tough to drill into, my brother commented on how many drill bits they broke when putting up cable trays during the rebuilds, mainly due to the flints from the ballast.
The manual bridge crane is in place in the machine house. The fortitude of the workers has to be admired, modern H&S would not tolerate the practices visible here. The ladders are not placed 4up – 1out.
