Kings Place, York Way - update

Kings Place - a big hole
Snuck onto the building site a few days ago to see how they are getting on (last time I checked on them this was the scene)...and...it's a big hole! Funny to think that just on the other side of that wall is the canal! If that gave way you would have a lot of drowned builders....
Kings Place - Building the foundations
...wonder how they are going to free the diggers of the hole when they are done...? ;) Or do they just entomb them in the concrete (kidding ;)...anyway, if you want to see what it's going to look like when it is finished you can check it out here, really amazing facade, glass like waves...it's still a long way off though!

Nice photos. Actually fears about canal inundation are illusory, given it's only a few feet deep, a shame, otherwise they could have port-holes. Mind you, most of it it would be swallowed up. Dry dock to dry ducks in one swoop.
