Known as Gateway West, the scheme is being billed as an ‘opportunity for a stand-alone headquarters’ within the new business district, and is due to be completed by July 2022.
The ‘strong, angular but intimate’ brick building is the latest addition to the growing White City Place development, following the start of construction in October 2020 of Allies and Morrison’s Gateway Central building, which has already been part-let to L’Oréal.
Fascinating old photographs have been unearthed that show some of the people who helped build RNAS Culdrose more than 70 years ago. Lloyd Sluman found the tiny pictures, measuring just two by two inches, among the papers of his late parents. They lived in Porthleven, not far from the Helston air station. His mother, Phyllis Miners, worked for construction company John Laing and Son Ltd, one of the main contractors responsible for building RNAS Culdrose. As well as showing workers clearing the land or building the first aircraft hangars, the photographs also capture more light-hearted moments and candid images of the staff at work.
The Glenfinnan Viaduct. IT is one of the most spectacular railway lines in the world, made even more famous by Harry Potter and the spectacular Glenfinnan Viaduct. Now a new TV documentary on New Year’s Eve reveals newly discovered photos taken during the construction of the railway line between Fort William and Mallaig. The collection of over 100 high-res celluloid nitrate plates were unearthed in a sale in Cornwall in 2019. Local musician Ingrid Henderson follows the story of these photographs, what they reveal about lives and people in Lochaber, and attempts to discover the artist behind the lens. At the same time she creates new music to pay tribute to the railway and the people who built it. For Ingrid, born in Mallaig, brought up in Fort William and now living and working in Glenfinnan, the railway has always been present in her life.
