So what happens to the supports that are internal to the structure? I presume at some point the uprights in the middle need to be taken out, but then how does the roof get supported or does connecting the roof sections together have enough strength to be self supporting?

I presumed that the corner supports would stay, probably covered with boarding or wall sections. They could put shelves and mirrors on the ones in the shop.

I would imagine that they become boxed in pillars.

But that’s only my opinion. We’ll have to wait and see.

Just want to emphasise again how good an idea it is to use the facade as the entrance to the shop.

Not least because it negates any (probably unfair) criticism of the appearance of the modular building, because you barely see it anyway!

They've just removed a door from the flat packing of the unit on the RHS.

Not only the supports but the outside walls and the doors and windows all packing in one!

Now there’s a ticket office, perhaps I can collect my season tickets and get a refund for the mandatory postage?

Cheers Ian. First new photos for over a month apart from the green container ones.

Surprised that the new support pillars for the facade are brick. From the webcam and their colour I'd assumed they were blocks.
