Digging up Bridgefield Street


As part of a development known as Redrock a section of Bridgefield Street has been dug up. The workmen were taking a break for tea when I took this photograph.


There was some access on to the site which allowed me take a view of the excavations. The digging up of the car park has revealed the old cobbled streets and the foundations of houses that once stood here,


This view is from the opposite direction. There is still access via a ramp to the car park on the top of Debenhams.

A contribution to Good Fences.

  1. I know the feeling of roadwork.... We have had it for years. If they finish soon, please send them over here.

  2. Every where we turn something is getting dug up. The temporary fence people must be thriving! :)

  3. That's so serious road construction going on there. The safety fencing sure stands out with that orange color.

  4. It looks like it'll take quite awhile, and reminds me of infrastructure replacement work here.
