More work behind fences



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.

  5. Great photo. I always love watching progress on a building site. Make sure you post an 'after' shot so we can see the final result.

  8. Perhaps 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.
