Now I have a fabulous birds-eye view of all that is going on at this site.
I was sad to see all the hazel and baby oak trees along the edge of the site were chopped down, (weeks ago now). Not sure why this was necessary but I suppose women may feel less vulnerable walking from the station to Scaitcliffe St.

What I'd like to know is what all the machinery is there. I have worked out (I think) that a machine that sounds like a huge food processor is actually breaking up large bits of concrete into smaller bits which is then fed into another machine that chews them even smaller.......
.....But what is that huge blue 'periscope' thing?
It doesn't look like an normal crane and there is a repetitive CHUG CHUG CHUG sound...Is it this blue thing? Or a large drill? And if so why would they be drilling holes when there must be sewage pies etc there already?
