That's the whole point... there was nothing there on the Monday... these guys work fast.

Walls
No Deltics on either :(

Thats nothing. I started to build my garden shed on Sunday morning, no cranes, no vans and noone to help me. Had it done and dusted by 2.00pm with a nice cup of tea. Should have got me to do it for them. 8-)

Phew!! I thought it was just me. ;D

Prefab stations ......must be the new thing.
Still no where near as impressive as the Victorian St Pancras Train Shed Station building....they knew how to design things, christ they even built a huge cellar under the lines to store the beer in!

I can't tell you where I take these pics from...
The street that goes to the right is a small road that has a bank of three parking places with no Residence Parking post signs. A very rare sight in central London, and you can park there for FREE for as long as you like (I checked this with the traffic wardens and they confirmed it!). Not sure why this particular bank, I know of no other in my area, but I park my car there for the day and walk to the office (5 minutes). Now if I advertise the name of the street everyone will want to come and park there, so this shall remain a secret.... :) But if you are driving to Kings Cross and need free parking, PM me... ;)

It's about time they built a indoor boot fair venue in london
-
OK, now they are taking it down.... :o

Maybe they finally found the instructions inside the flat-pack packaging and realised they put it together the wrong way up? :o ;D

Well I think I can just make a tiny 'IKEA' logo at the top right-hand corner... probably the Polish workers did not understand the Swedish instructions.
-
Yep, they are taking it down... makes you wonder what was the purpose of the exercise. Oddly it seem to take them longer to pull it down than it took to build it in the first place.

Yup... and the 6 mobile cranes to put it up and then take it down don't come cheap either... the thing went up in under a week, then one night they had an event there, with torches lighting the way and dignitaries wondering around the place, and then they took it off... perhaps they were demonstrating the building technique to potential buyers?....

It still does apparently... it is difficult to see in the picture but there's a Cat D9 ploughing the field (or more like levelling it).
