When you're in a hole...


...in our case, we keep digging. Here is the extent of the dig to provide the foundations and basement area for the new wing. Something like 300 tonnes of steel have been put into the ground to support the new structure, which are now hidden from view.


The internal backstage area on this (Grindley Street) side of the hall has now been demolished to make way for the new facilities - better dressing rooms for musicians, a dedicated education space and floors that actually connect at the right levels with the main public part of the building for better access!

A busy site compound
