I have been led to believe that work on the Watchtower has stopped at ground level. Can anyone confirm this? :mad::mad::(:(
I can confirm that the tower is definitly under construction. they are still below ground (3 stories in total), but it is possible that they may stop at ground level due to the current economic climate.

The front is starting to look even less ‘classy’ than the renders suggested, which is saying something.I took a quick snap of the main block where it extends out past the front facade. The render hinted at some arty vertical slit window thing, on a random pattern, but what is emerging looks like the back of a standard toilet block, fronting the river!
Gunter,
That 1st picture is of the Dressing Room Block beside the Stage, and i dont think that the final finish has been applied to the cladding
I can confirm that they are continuing with the foundations for the watchtower. In the meantime, here is a render of the Northern Elevation of the New Point
There is a 12 mtr deep hole for the 3 story basement of the tower. Currently, at the bottom of this, they are driving (Drilling) 1 mtr wide & 25 mtr deep piles into the ground to support the weight of the tower
