Looks impressive Peter, what is it going to be ?

 

Looks like it is on the left as you drive in

New build for existing tenants, it is on the south side of the site where the outside caravan yards was and where you could turn left to drive up the back of the main building.

looks like tony ( in a younger life ) had been working on some sort of proto-type mixing device, you could almost be certain its a proto-type of some sort, as its green !!

It looks like it was a Baromix but he wasn't involved with mixers in those days! That bit of ground was dug out and back filled to make decent hard standing and they think that bulk delivery cement took over from mixing your own on that scale!

Internal work is going on to split the building into two industrial units with offices on the mezzanine floor. Wiring being put in for the units and still doors and outside to be done. We had to drop some log lengths into the river, hoping that they grow and provide a bank to stop the river from undercutting the building too!

Some more panorama pictures.

can't quite tell from the camera angle of the river but I would be tempted to stake a line of faggots in the river to the left of the logs to catch silt and form a burm,could give you a extra bit of protection.

True enough, we have lost and gained ground as the river path deviates over the years. It regularly rises and fall quite a bit.

 

Some years ago when the area suffered with big floods in the Avon and Severn, the Arrow did flood and we had about 5cm of water going through that factory! But, as it was the summer shut down and the plan was to paint the floor and move some departments around, everything was put on pallets so it could be moved so apart from silt, nowt was damaged!
