These are the names of the first four of seven tower blocks that have been demolished on the old Larner Road Estate in Erith. Making way for Erith Park.
Monday 5th August, it became a hive of activity along the North End Road of the site. I noticed a couple of white Portakabins had arrived, to accommodate the builders while on this part of the site. A crane was being erected, ready to lift materials as the new blocks grew.
Wednesday, I spoke to Gemma, Regeneration Contracts Manager, to see ask how the build was going.
Deep excavations had been made & metal rods were in place, ready for the concrete foundations of the first blocks.
The interiors of Verona House will start to be taken out next Monday. One part of the carriageway opposite, will be temporarily blocked off, when the demolition starts in early October.
