I am sure there was a yellow crane yesterday morning when i was catching my train, i was rather tired though. :lol: Also there may also have been a piling machine and a JCB, anything else must have been below my eyeline from platform 1 and the hoardings.

I noticed the 5 plots of 42m were all exactly 1m shorter than the millenium stadium roof at 43m (i assume by design).

Looking at this picture from the design and access statement of plot 1, it also looks about the same height (if not 1m shorter) than the roof of the MS.

In that picture, what is that light grey building to the left of the cinema and sitting on Wood Street?

That picture looks like its in the middle of the road, plus there are no buildings of that height between the cinema and the station. If it was St Davids House then that light grey building should be drawn on the cinema building as we look at the picture.

You have a point. I thought St.David's was slightly in front of the cinema on Wood Street but it's parallel isn't it ? Plus it is shorter.

Now I'm a bit puzzled as well

Not sure it's meant to be anything, possibly just the cinema's shadow or whatever, judging by the fact the stadium has been... 'doubled' too.

I think you are right, I can see it now, some sort of weird 3D effect.
