Webcams are stuck AGAIN

LondonerUpNorth · July 18th, 2005, 09:58 PM

I took a few pics today, I'll download them later and maybe post. None of the fencing around the site was open though

I think they're up to floor 6 on the small core? Not sure if that means if they're on target or not.

I hope the building will be more reliable than the webcams...

Cranesetc · July 19th, 2005, 08:52 PM

Mace told me today that the web cams are stuck as they are moving equipment into their new site offices: "Should be back in a few days".

was wondering why its been friday for a week now

Sikario · July 22nd, 2005, 12:49 PM

When the cameras are back working again, the main core will be so high it'll be out of shot.

Peyre · July 23rd, 2005, 05:32 PM

damn, just got back from hols up north, and was looking foward to seeing how Lime Street is getting on.

Remusable · July 25th, 2005, 02:01 PM

Seriously, how long does it take to fix a webcam..?

jef · July 25th, 2005, 02:11 PM

These webcams are as reliable as the starting date of the Heron Tower.

nick_taylor · July 26th, 2005, 03:12 PM

I might go down and have a look tomorrow if webcams are still broken.

jef · July 26th, 2005, 03:52 PM

Can you take some shots as Mikey did? I am curious to know whether the second and taller core is on the up.

***wjfox*** · July 26th, 2005, 03:56 PM

Nearly 2 weeks have passed since the last webcam update - there's bound to have been lots of progress made.

AndrewC · July 26th, 2005, 05:12 PM

Whats the building in the foreground of the first picture, on the left? Looks quite nice in a simple way.

Ciudad Bristol · July 26th, 2005, 05:31 PM

Richard Roger's Lloyds building.

will do.

Jake_the_Peg · July 26th, 2005, 06:00 PM

As Cranesetc found out for us, they are not broken but purposely disabled so we can't see what goodies they put in those portacabins and tell our dodgy friends.

Mikey · July 26th, 2005, 06:11 PM

I have emailed them complaining.....

Turbosnail · July 26th, 2005, 07:10 PM

Another core's probably going up by now.
