Progress Update

At Long Alley Almshouses the old tiles and batons are being stripped off to leave bare rafters which are then kept dry with plastic sheeting.

At the bottom of West Saint Helen Street the hole has been filled over. Just a darker square of tarmac shows where it once was. That is not to say there are not other problems down there as Victorian storm drains decay beneath our feet, but at least the smell of sewage that has been apparent down that way for a while has been explained and cleared up.
