49. General view, from the north west.
Taken from near the site of the future New Hythe Halt, with the photographer’s back to the railway line, the site of the future no 6 loading dock. Notable in this photo is the temporary embankment and standard gauge railway siding laid up to the opening in the side of the annexe / machine house, this will be used to bring in the paper machine parts and will be visible in interior shots later in the series.
Cast in situ concrete wall panels in most parts of the machine house and annexe framework, concrete block walls built where windows, doors etc are required.
The purpose of the large tent like structure (seen in part in other views) is not clear but may be cover for bagged or more likely barrels of cement. Any ideas?
