The Basement




Here are three images of the works on the Cambridge Street side of the Usher Hall. They show very well how deep the excavation has gone down in order to achieve the new basement, which will provide a big increase in toilet and cloakroom provision. It was interesting to see the stone laid down by Queen Mary in 1911 so exposed against the construction works.

Just stumbled on your blog.
Very good. Keep up the work.

I used to work occasionally at the hall (lighting) and was quite fond of the place in spite of its limitations.

Good luck with the schedule!
