In this post, I will be posting photos of the continued progress of the framework of the store as this stage enters the final couple of weeks. (click on each image, to see a larger version)
This is a view looking in a north easterly direction from next to the tramway station, with most of this side of the store framework in view. On the far right is where the south facade of the store will be, fronting the pedestrian area. The store car park will be on the other side of the store framework, which is currently being extended in that direction, but will be finished within the next week or so, ready for the other building work on the store to begin.
Above is one of the close up photos I took of the wooded section of the framework, as sometimes it is good to see the finer details as opposed to wide views of the frame.
This photo above is an over the fence view of the rear area of the store where the goods yard and delivery area for Arctic lorries and home delivery vans will be. The area beyond the metalwork in this photo will be the car park with the new access road the the development further beyond that.
Another view of the store and the foundations in the photo above, with this area being the main retail space, which is bigger than it looks in this due to the camera lens compressing the photo into one space when looking straight through from one side to the other.
This photo above is looking at one of the tramway posts alongside the west side of the Tesco frame, I have photos of this post when it was surrounded by old fence, overgrown trees and barbed wire, so even at this stage, I could make so many photo comparisons that I have done all around the site at different stages, but that will all come towards the end of the project!
Above is a close up abstract shot of some of the metal and woodwork that makes the frame for the roof of the store.
This photo was taken from the same position as the photo below, just the difference being the photo was taken with my DSLR the day after.
The photo above was taken on my iphone looking from west to east across the store framework after people had finished working on the site for the day, on the left there is the part of the store which will only be accessed by the staff for things such as store room, deliveries etc, and underneath the wooden section on the right will be the main retail area of the store with the main entrance being way off to the far right of the image. You can also see the concrete foundation on which the store is built on and what the shop floor will eventually be built upon.
The photo above was taken on my phone, Originally made of 5 photos, they were stitched together in one of the apps I have, to create this panoramic photo of the west side of the store, alongside the tramway. (click on the image to get a bigger size)
Above is another iphone photo looking up at the framework of the western side of the store. At the top of the photo is a canopy which slightly overhangs from the main building.
The photo above was taken looking up at the roof section of the framework using my phone camera, the sun was setting behind me, therefore light was cast onto this side of the frame.
The photo above was taken looking east, showing two workmen on cherry pickers fixing a beam into place while the crane holds it in place.
Above I wanted a slightly different type of image, where I looked at the side of the framework from the back and included both sections of it, as well as the canopy section on the western side of the store that sticks out a bit.
This photo was taken from the south of the frame as workmen on cherry pickers are fixing another beam into place in the framework as the crane lowers it into place.
Above is a view from the tramway station (right behind me) of the store with the guy on the cherry picker on the right of the photo working on what will be the south western corner of the store frame.
Above is a view of the western side of the store, with workmen working on the last few beams on this side of it before progressing further to the east.
Above is another view of the south of the site with the store framework in the background.
This is a wide angle view from the south of the site looking northwards towards the frame of the store. On the far left you can see some new beams being put into place, with the furthest left forming the south western corner of the store. In a couple of weeks, the whole store framework will be complete, allowing further building work/electrics etc to begin.
