At the Premier Inn site? They've been working for a while demolishing haven't they, so there's been activity for a while. What sort of activity do you mean?

(Not that I've been in the country since December to see for myself, just seen from Paul's posts in Flickr)

Balls, I meant the Custom House street tower...

I was REALLY hoping that is what you meant

Crane all installed so this should start going up quite rapidly in a month or so

That really isn’t a good thing

Mine wasn't a comment on good or bad, just that on a construction basis it'll be going up.

Hello, I'm new here but have been following some of the threads with interest!
Is this tower crane for the Premier Inn building - or is it in fact for the big customhouse tower?

Hi James - and welcome!!

Alas this is not the big one on customhouse st. The future of that is in some doubt at the moment whether it ends up being student accommodation seems increasingly unlikely at the moment with even more substantial student developments underway. Oh well you're looking in on the right place for any news!!

Looks like the crane is getting a height boost today/tomorrow. 3 new sections of crane lined up along with the platform which allows the crane to build itself attached to the main body.
