| October 1st - The steel structure arrives in "kit form"... | ...and the steels are unloaded. | All the steels are off the lorries - now where are the instructions? | |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The first upright is lifted into position... | ...and the building starts to take shape! | In this giant Meccano set, the next upright is dropped onto the holding bolts... | ...and nuts fix it into place. (The guy on the right has a spirit level to make sure it's vertical!) |

 |
| Now it's really taking shape - 3 uprights in place... | ...soon joined by a 4th. | And cross pieces show where the floors will go. | |
 |

 |
 |
| Oct 7th - the first section is complete. | A pause in the steel construction as the lift pit is finished. | Oct 9th - work starts on the next section... | And another wing of the building takes shape. |

 |
| Another horizontal steel is gently lowered. | Then the roof structure is added (Oct 14th). | Oct 15th - terrible weather, wind and driving rain, but the work goes on! | ...and the steel frame is finished. |
