Green Lane, LINCOLN, LN6 7DL

Building work started in the 1930s but wasn’t completed until after WWII. It was built as HQ for Ruston Bucyrus but contained a number of businesses after Bucyrus split in 1985 to Bucyrus Europe Ltd and RB Lincoln Ltd. Occupants included Bucyrus Europe Ltd on the ground floor from 1985 and later owners Beel Industrial Boilers (BIB) about 1988 to 2002 on the first floor. BIB sold the building to Lincolnshire Co-op and it continued for some time in multiple occupancy. Late in 2013 work began on a £3.8m project for University of Lincoln Science and Innovation Park. The project was part of a collaboration between the university and Lincolnshire Co-operative, with Marchini Curran Associates and Clegg Construction for this first phase that included refurbishment of Becor House as Joseph Banks Laboratories.

These foreground buildings are gone, which now can be seen in Streetview as a large car parking area - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=James+Dawson+%26+Son+Ltd&ll=53.226982,-0.556545&spn=0.000996,0.002642&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=james+dawson+lincoln&cid=0,0,578321128068208157&t=h&layer=c&cbll=53.227034,-0.556679&panoid=2ZxEiL7pVK0Z9ea6e_pNyw&cbp=12,45.99,,0,-1.1&z=19

Offices - Since this photograph the end of the wall and the nearest post has been knocked down.

A look down Beevor Street to Tritton Road shows the roof-line mimicked by the new wall of the storage yard of B&Q.

Part of the Lincoln Science Park development in the West end of Lincoln; previously an industrial area. The Pavilions Student Village is visible in the background.

Construction work in progress. This will probably be student accommodation. Taken from opposite Becor House, the former Ruston Bucyrus offices. Tower Crane - The tall yellow girder work is the mast, or tower, which gives the crane its height. This is attached to a base at ground level, which is in turn bolted to a large concrete pad. At the top of the mast/tower is the slewing unit, the gear and the motor that rotates the crane. The long horizontal jib, or working arm, is the portion of the crane which carries the load. Seen extending away from camera. A trolley (not seen in shot) runs along the jib to move the load towards or away from the mast/tower. The shorter horizontal arm (nearest camera) is the machinery arm, which contains the crane's motors, that lifts the load, and electronics as well as the large concrete counter weights. Fixed to the side of the jib and arm and above the mast/tower, is the operator's cab. This position allows an uninterrupted view ahead of the load, unless construction work is blocking the view. In this case a person is employed below to signal movement of the load. The two items of equipment working on the ground, are, a Volvo EC 45, which is a Mini-Excavator, and what looks like a 9 tonne straight & swivel Dumper.

Or anemometer, to give it its proper title.
