July 1st 2009 Victoria Bridge
After reading some disturbing footage on a website last week about Victoria Bridge and the latest SBC work on it I decided to ask the people at SBC Technical services if the stories were true. The following is from the e-mail sent back to me today.
Good Morning Stewart,
I have been asked to provide you with some information regarding Victoria Bridge works so here goes ;
The original cast pedestals for the street lighting columns were in need of repair.
- A specialist contractor was appointed.
- Existing lighting levels were to be maintained during refurbishment of pedestals hence temporary lighting presently in place.
- Original pedestals have now been removed off site for specialist remedial works.
- On return ( anticipate 5 to 6 weeks ), temporary supporting steelwork will be removed, pedestals repositioned and new lanterns installed.
- Presently each column supports 1 no. lantern, however, current lighting criteria demand 2 no. lanterns.
- New lanterns will be more in keeping with original style based on old photographic evidence.
- Completion scheduled for mid-late August.
- I have attached a computer generated image of the finished article, not brilliant but gives an indication of final appearance.
A press release was prepared and issued to the local media. Unfortunately they appear not to have published the information and we have no powers over that decision. The article was however available on the SBC website ( which you obviously caught sight of ).
One further point of note, an application has been submitted ( by persons unknown ) to have the bridge listed and this is presently being considered by English Heritage. EH have been notified of our works and seem most satisfied with our proposals.
Further works will be carried out at the entrance to the new student accommodation building. This is scheduled for August when most of the resident students will decamp for summer break. Some stonework is to be rearranged in an effort to tidy up the entrance and also refurbished columns with single lanterns will be installed on either side of the entrance.
Hope this information covers all your needs, if not, feel free to contact me.
Kind Regards,
Ian B.
