Sign overkill, Western Way
Is a motorist really supposed to be able to read all these without holding up all the other traffic? Supposedly one Californian freeway had a lane for slow readers - it might be useful here.

Clad to be grey
With apologies to Tom Robinson.
When Haldo took over this ordinary pitch roofed factory building they felt the need to cover it all with grey cladding. Haldo originally made illuminated road signs ('Keep Left' etc.) but now do vehicle graphics, car covers, bicycle racks, and other seemingly unconnected products.

Two examples of the engineering art
A Ferrari 328 GTS poses in front of the framework of the new Asda store.
The car was being delivered to the premises of Haldo, who offer a secure, warm and dry storage facility for the winter.
The men on the cherry pickers in the Asda building are putting up netting just under the roof level - is this to catch items dropped during roof construction?

Pioneer site rubble pile
How big a pile do you get when you turn a supermarket, an office block and several warehouses into rubble? Here is the answer.
It should be replaced by an Asda store by Spring 2009.

Pioneer pile
Demolition of the Pioneer store and all the adjacent businesses has now become a task of generating a giant rubble pile. An Asda store is supposed to be built and open in Spring 2009. See previous photos to see stages of demolition.

Revealed, premises next to Asda site
This building has been largely hidden from view by adjacent buildings for decades, firstly when it was a sweet factory and more recently as a office supplies warehouse etc. In the foreground a gang is completing the new pavement. The plans showed a new office block in this area but it looks as if that might not happen now.

Eastbound entry to new roundabout
As the new Bury St. Edmunds Asda nears opening day the access roundabout is open but after enduring months of huge traffic jams caused by the temporary traffic lights motorists discover their worst nightmare - a permanent set of lights being assembled.
