Dartmouth Park Restoration - IV
I think it's confirmed.
The concrete steps are complete. Hoorah !!!
Why do I think this?
(1)Because the builders' fencing has been removed from the car park into which the steps lead, and (2) because all of the builders' stuff has gone.
So, dear readers, it looks as though my observation last November was correct. And that was that, despite the massed intelligence of Sandwell MDC; its architect and the National Lottery, something has been missed.
However, there is a twist to this tale.
Whilst something has most definitely been missed, I have it on good authority that it has been missed not by accident -- but by design - literally!!
A well placed source said that he had noticed the same omission as myself, and queried it with an even better placed source. This even better placed source informed him that the 'omission' was known of and, by implication, was not seen as a problem.
So what is missing?
Answer - tomorrow.
To help you I have shown a photo of the original stone stairway which was located adjacent to the position of the new concrete steps until Sandwell mindlessly, unnecessarily, and expensively, ripped it out.
I have also shown a photo of a smaller set of 11 steps a short distance from the new 33 (I think) concrete steps.
Compare these photos with the first one, which is of the new concrete steps complete with shiny smooth brick edges (there's another clue for you.)
