| Crane at Singo's site from Baker Street, 7th September 2017 | | |
The
crane at the Bonython Tower site towers over Mann Street and the whole
of Gosford. It gives us a hint of just how massive the tower will be
when it’s finished, in comparison to our small quiet town. And this is
just the first of the big changes.

| Presidents Hill in the background, 7th September 2017 |
The eagle-eyed will have noticed the crane in the background of this photo, which locals will know is away on the other side of the railway. That crane in the background is on Donnison Street West, by the look of it. With so much on the other building sites to publish this week, an update on that one will have to wait until next week.

| After, 7th September 2017 |
The before photo at the top of this pair, with the pipes laid, and the after photo at the bottom, with the concrete poured over the top of the pipes. The plan for this bottom floor of the tower is a restaurant, so the pipes at this end of the site are probably plumbing. We’ll find out when the whole tower is finished and we can go in and have a nose around.

| Loading dock area, 7th September 2017 |
This is the loading dock area at the back of the site, where it lets onto Paul Lane off William Street. The zigzag wall on the right of the photo is new this week.
Structures are growing all over the site, though some are rather more mysterious than this one and we’ll just have to wait and see what they are when they’re finished and have fun guessing in the meantime.

| Mystery structure, 7th September 2017 |
Mystery structure at the back. We haven’t had proper rain for weeks, so that must be ground water in the big hole. And men at work around one of the foundation pylons.

Hard-hatted workers hard at work in the late afternoon sun.
