Steel Frame Arrives
On a misty Monday morning, the steel frame for the new building arrives. The foundations are in and the steel arrived on two large lorries from the Lindab factory in Luxembourg this morning. Our specialist team of erectors were all ready to start off-loading using a hi-tech JCB fork lift by 9am.

Setting out the new building
Work has started at Hawkhurst Station Business Park with the crushing and reuse of all broken out rubble. This picture shows the pegs marking the building position in front of the old signal box. The signal box is being preserved but may be relocated to become part of the Kent and East Sussex Railway.
