The scaffolding round the County Hall is going up another level. It must be fairly near the top.
Gangways zig zag near where a lift brings scaffolding to the top.
I could imagine the great Blondin, tightrope-walker, aerialist, and acrobat extraordinaire balancing upon the highest poles.
As nightfall falls there is still more scaffolding to erect tomorrow, when it could get even more extraordinaire.
I am just wondering about the Town Councillors standing up there on 29th April throwing buns.
I just hope we aren’t required to catch any Councillors!
Look horrible. How long is it due to be up for?
I felt queasy looking up at the two workmen yesterday. goodness knows what it must feel like up there. Still, I suppose that is why they get paid a lot for doing it. (Well
I hope they get paid al lot(?) they deserve it).
Perhaps some of those entitled to throw the buns will decline the honour? I, for one, will be up there!
I think it looks rather spectacular – at least in these artistic photos – sort of Abingdon’s answer to the Pompidou Centre.
Perhaps we could get the Arts Festival people to do a big artwork to conceal the lower levels of scaffolding – for the last couple of years there has been a building site in London which had the hoarding disguided as ain incredibly realistic set of giant crayons – it always fascinated me when I went by on the coach.
i like hesters idea, i hope Banksey reads this,
Great Idea. I am confident there are people at the council working hard to make this happen!
