The photos in this post are taken as work on the store is underway, in the form of the drainage systems before the major building work can commence and of course the foundations on which the Tesco store will stand on.
This photo is looking from south to north across the site, in the foreground you can see where the front of the Store will be with a concrete truck towards the back of it, everything in the image is more compressed together due to the view of the site.
The photo above is of two workmen on the south side of where the Tesco store will be, discussing things as they move the metal around.
Above is the result of a fisheye lens shot I took on the camera looking onto the site. Due to the shape of the lens, you get an ultra wide view but also a distorted view, the further out from the centre you go.
This is one of the views I have taken photos of regularly during the year, to show the amount of change that has happened on the change during the work on site. You can see here (especially in large view) the foundations of the store being laid, with the lighter area to the left, the first half of the store that has already been laid over the past week. The right hand side of this image is being worked on this week.
This is a close up of the concrete pumping lorry, with the footprint of the south west corner of the Tesco store visible in the lower half of the photo behind the lorry. The tramway car park fence is visible in the background.
The photo above was taken with a wide lens looking onto the south side of the Tesco store, where concrete was being laid onto the store footprint, while dark clouds were gathering over the site to bring more unsettled july weather.
Another photo, this time looking over the south fence onto the site where machines are working on the car park area of the site, just north of the delivery gate.
Above is one of the roller machines rolling flat some of the hardcore that has been laid out on part of the area where the car park will be.
The photo above was looking at the back of the Tesco store, on a windy day. Standing below the level of the ground on the site, you can see how much the sand was blowing around, so it wasn't ideal conditions to be taking photos around the site.
The photo above is taken looking over the fence onto the west of the Tesco store site, where workmen are working away on the concrete foundations before more concrete arrives in a few days.
This photo above is another view of the concrete work going on on site, with loads of concrete being pumped through the pipe and over onto the site where it needs to be laid.
Above is one of the mini rollers rolling out some hardcore close to where the south side of the store will be located, with the concrete work going on in the background.
This photo is the specialist concrete truck sending concrete through the overhead pipe from waiting concrete mixer trucks, so that it can be laid on site without trucks having to wait for concrete to dry out, therefore making the process much quicker.
The photo above is taken looking directly at where the eastern wall of the Tesco store will be when built, with the digger and the works behind it, eventually being where part of the car park will be, with the Petrol station being further back to the right of the trees in the photo.
This is a view onto the site, with workmen behind the fence busy installing drainage/sewage pipes before the Store is built above it.
The photo above was taken of one of the concrete mixer lorries going into the site off of a very sandy, dusty road, to start pouring concrete where the Tesco store will be.
