Yes it's half time - today is exactly half way between the first day
of demolition (Aug 6th) and Boxing Day, the opening day for the two
ends. I can't let the day go by, I thought, so up I trooped on a
dreadful evening here in Plymouth. Wet and dismal, but good old Barr
go on undeterred, with the help of the mobile floodlights. I've done
my best to enhance the photos, actually the light looks a lot better
than it actually was. I know the pictures aren't particularly good,
but I had to mark the occasion somehow!
As you can see, the lower levels of the concrete
terrace have nearly joined up, and the rear steelwork is starting to
head round the corners. The concrete base of the Devonport End was
laid today, and you can just spot the first steel sheeting being
fixed at the back of the Devonport End, white inside and green on
the outside.
