Gents I'm sorry, Can someone enlighten me? I have no idea where the above pictures are, although I suspect that its the backs of Old Tiverton Road in the background of the last one. Yeo & Davey building at the rear of the last one?

Pete they are taken from the back of the BB looking across the old BB Car Park, over the domestic lock up garages, then the Yeo & Davy site and just in shot top right is the canopy of the old petrol station.
The 3rd of 4 above is of the piling work being undertaken at the back of the BB towards the railway line, just visible behind the corner of the railings.

Thank you for that, Andy. I now have my bearings.

Seems there is far more activity on the "student" site than there is on the new stand

Given it’s a considerably larger and more detailed development by a factor of many then that’s not entirely surprising. The deal isn’t we get a stand before they’ve stuck a spade in the ground.

I can assure you that the piling work on the new/old grandstand is ongoing. It's a regular 'thump' as I sit in my study 400m from. and overlooking the site - but actually not too intrusive. However since it's largely demolition and groundwork the student site does appear to have more activity

As the student stuff can only be occupied when the stand is finished it makes perfect sense to build in tandem. Their business model is bound to assume revenue coming in asap which is great news for a stand being delivered early

I was driving down OTR the other day whilst this was going on and nearly pulled over as i thought my car was about to fall apart. Luckily, i realised where the noise was actually coming from!
