Demolition Special

Bungalows completely gone already
Miles of new security hoarding being erected right down to the footbridge at Falmer station.
Some previous angles for photos now impossible.
Time for some devious thinking!

North east corner having reinforcing rods put in.
South stand foundations coming along.
2 specialist asbestos removal vans in the car park, ready for next week when the "soft" removal starts in the Uni buildings.
Natterjack tells us that the bungalow buildings will be the first to go, and the week after next should see some actual demolition.
First we couldn't wait for the diggers, then the steel, now the demolition.
In just over a week, according to John on the gate, there will be real visible progress.

I've tried to vary it a bit this week.
It's another two weeks before Buckingham take over the Uni buildings.
The Costa Express has visited a new ground!
There's also a "Spot the Natterjack" competition, as site engineers wait eagerly to start demolition of said Uni buildings!!
Service works have started on the SEEDA stuff between Coldean Lane and Stanmer Park.

Not too much obvious visual change again this week, but expect all sorts in 2 weeks time when the Uni buildings start to get demolished.
It was easy to get access in to these buildings this week as they're being emptied, so I was able to take a couple of shots from the top floor corner window.
Most of the workforce seemed to be congregated at the north end of the east stand for some reason?

Most work this week has been putting the "rebar" reinforcement mesh on to the floors of the east stand.
The terrace construction is coming along slowly but surely.
The big "flea-comb" thing has had the shuttering removed to expose the concrete.
There are several skips around the soon to be demolished buildings full of Joca files, and other redundant office type stuff. If you need anything of that nature, you may wish to nip round a bit quickish? (Hard up students?).
