Today I had another look at the Bury Mead Springs area not expecting to see much change. However I was surprised to see that there had been quite a bit of activity on site. I will upload the photos now and add the commentary tomorrow as it is quite late now.
Looking back towards the scrapyard some steel piling or similar has been installed on the left. A wide area of ground has been cleared compared to my original survey photos,
Slightly longer shot. The embankment has been cleared of its tree roots in some places. I guess this will have to be done all the way along if they want to avoid future problems. Some of the stumps are quite substantial.
A site container has appeared since my last visit.
Moving further along, the last pile of tree trunks awaiting removal.
Moving up onto the triangle between the two embankments, the security fence was down. Not much change here other than clearance of the main line embankment where the viaduct will cross.
A shot of the Bedford embankment looking back towards Hitchin. A permanent fence is in the process of being installed to the right in the meadow so access here will soon be difficult.
Looking the other way you can see a heap of removed roots etc on the embankment
The toilets that were the first items on site give a reference point for the earlier pictures of this area. Not sure what the yellow pipe is that can be seen extending out from the side of the scrapyard. Behind the embankment the National Grid gasworks is now visible.
