A few months ago I decided to start taking regular photos of the skyline to document the construction of The Shard from my home.
Umm, a bit of laziness in taking photos and incompetence in keeping some of the ones I did take has left a few gaps in the time-lapse, although most of the missing weeks were when the structure was below the line of sight anyway.
Now that the core is rising up and fast becoming a major feature on the skyline, it will be harder to forget in future!
Here are three photos to show how the concrete core is rising up over just the past few weeks.
Nothing to see – yet.
Just starting to peer out over the tops of the buildings
Fairly noticeable now!
SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE
This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.
Thank you
OK being a bit thick, I can’t see what I’m meant to be looking at. In future, can you add a big red arrow for us visually-challenged types. Thank you very much 😉
