Couple more older photos of the site

 The photo above was taken in 2008 looking at the eastern entrance of the Holiday camp where the restaurant stood. (Now the main site entrance)

This photo was taken early in 2009 after the holiday camp closed, looking at the area that will be occupied by the Tesco store and Car park at the end of November 2011.

650 photos this year

We are only in april but with my cameras since January 2011, I have taken 650 photos of the progress on the regeneration site. As you can see the photos on the blog are only the very tip of the iceberg of photos that I have stored away!

As well as photos, which are my strong point, you may have seen that I have begun to shoot some videos around the site, to give you an idea of what I see, which will be something I will also continue to do with youtube uploads as work progresses.

Here are a couple more videos taken 14/4/11:



More photos from April 2011

The photo above was taken looking into the site from the tramway/car park side. It shows one of the rollers on site flattening the newly raised land comprised of infill material brought onto the site via the pipeline.

In the last couple of days, the level of the Tesco side of the site must have been raised by about a metre, which is a scary thought, just thinking how quickly the work is progressing on site. In the photo above, you can see the new level of the regeneration site behind the trees, running through the middle of the photo from left to right. You can also make out the new level by looking at the roller in the background in the centre of the photo.

The photo above is looking onto the Tesco area from the south, close to Harbor road. Unlike before, the lagoons are becoming less and less visible as the land across the site is raised with the infill material.

This is one of the countless amount of dumper trucks unloading infill material onto different parts of the site ready to be rolled down and flattened.
The photo above was taken looking through a lens-size gap in the south western gate of the regeneration site. This is a view that I have photographed at different stages during the project, and is changing all of the time. If the plans drawn out are correct, this view will eventually be of the south side of the Tesco car park along with the Harbor road pedestrian entrance to the store.
