As is often the case, my tuit supply is low, so I haven’t got round to sorting out all my recent photographs, but I thought I’d make the effort for this one. This shows the scaffolders setting up on the John Dobson Street[1] elevation of the library. The wooden structure seems to be a chute down which chunks of library will presumably be dropped before being taken away. But what I like about this one is the position the man is in. OK, he does have a safety line, but that still looks quite precarious. I’m quite sure I couldn’t do that…
Stretch
[1] That distinctly unattractive street named after the architect responsible for so many of Newcastle’s best buildings, that I mentioned recently.
take more than a safety line to get me up there…
I remember nearly falling of a roof on Northumberland Street under the supervision of Mark lol
Yeah, wouldn’t get me up there either…
He supervised you into nearly falling off? Hmmmmmmmmmmm
