Looking across from Gillam Road towards the centre of Kinson - I have marked the location as the shopping precinct identifiable as the grey building with the square windows at the bottom of the picture (see Image). The crane appears to be just beyond the shopping precinct, and it is difficult to work out why he is up there. At first glance it looks as if he is working on the electricity cables, but the pylon line in fact runs about half a mile beyond. The shopping precinct is due to be demolished in a few weeks so perhaps he is something to do with that.
