The crane that has became such a landmark on the Abingdon skyline has just been moved from the development on Ock Street.
Iain sent me the news together with some pictures of the crane’s best moments – viewed from his bedroom window.
1. Removing the main horizontal arm of the crane (with a mobile crane).
2. Hoisting a large cage.
I went out to view the development this morning, in the rain, and saw for myself that the crane has gone.
The name Albert Lodge is plain to see above the crane-less building.
Wasn’t there a song “I can see clearly now the crane has gone”?
Just joking. Another Abingdon landmark vanishes.
Sorry to ask a dumb question.
There is an advanced road closure (3 September for three nights) posted at the double roundabout where Drayton Road, Spring Road, Ock Street and March Road meet. No indication is given about which roads this closure applies to – all, some, one? Which?
Can anyone tell me what I have missed? Thanks!
