The primary steel for the roof is now fully installed and,
with the decking at second floor level now in place, one is
afforded a full sense of the character and proportion of these new
spaces within the roof volume.
With the purlins in place, the Contractor has commenced work on
sheeting the sloping surfaces of the roof with the plywood
substrate ready for the installation of the slate roof
covering.
In the coming days, the conservation rooflights will be
installed and the metal sheet decking to the flat portion sof the
roof will complete the envelope.
Elsewhere, the stone pediments to the front elevation are being
erected with a mixture of new stone and stone from the fire damaged
building.
