Top yard going

No picture to show for this one, but the top yard where Volker Stevin had their cabins is being 'eaten away' by diggers and 'dozers. It would seem that the whole site will slope towards the river, with one or two roads through it. The west wall of Dock 8 is finally due to gain its concrete caps. A long dry spell has allowed work to proceed apace, although this seems to consist of taking soil from one place and dumping it somewhere else.

Summertime 2009

Now that, for the moment, no building is to take place there seems to be less urgency.

The contents of the left dock are being used to fill holes between the docks and the right hand dock lets in water at high tide and stores mud at low tide.
Ho hum.

I expect someone knows what they are doing.

Landscaping restarts

Drainage work has begun again, and the concrete capping along the river seems near to completion.
There has been no recent work on the docks.
It seems that there are no plans to begin building houses in the foreseeable future

Reports suggest that for now the site is to be 'landscaped'
and a riverside footpath and cycleway constructed.

Where's everybody gone?

Work Stopped!

Monday 30th March 2009
Site deserted no work in progress

Work in progress

At last there are signs of progress. A steep bank is being built on the East side and concrete capping is being added to the top of the shuttering against the river.

No. 8 is no more

Dock 8 October 2007 and in October 2008

Summer sunshine

Work goes on with the two docks fully closed and the call centre on the South shore complete.
