For the last few years workers have been busy converting the site of the former Automaster's engineering works by the Peak Forest Canal into an estate of new houses.
The area in the foreground here was the builder's "yard" but now the houses are all complete, they have started clearing the yard. Whether they are landscaping it or putting up some light commercial units as they are doing lower down Manchester Road, I'm not yet sure.
For Skywatch Friday and Friday Fences.
Thoughtful contrast between the old walls and the new buildings.
ReplyDeleteUnder construction! Great sky shot.
ReplyDeleteBet that was a big, big job.
ReplyDeletei bet it's going to be very pretty when finished. those houses are nice.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. I always love watching progress on a building site. Make sure you post an 'after' shot so we can see the final result.
ReplyDeleteHope they can retain some of the old wall, it has so much character.
ReplyDeleteI love that old stone wall! I wonder how all this will look when they are finished!
ReplyDeletePerhaps they are using that old wall again as part of a new construction. Looks like it and I wonder how it will look like then.
