Fourteen Meadows Road is on the right of the photograph. This patch of land will be protected by sheet piles and a concrete coping. Access to this section of the works was difficult so FM road was closed off for some period but allowing residents access.

What was the building on the right used for?
It looks like some kind of dance hall.

Ian, when the works were in progress, it was being used by a motor cart club during the day. I visited the premises one day, to discuss what the contractor was planning when the large crawler crane was arriving on the road outside. Young teenagers were driving carts round a circuit -making more noise than the contractor's plant!!
