Did anyone see it earlier?

Channel 5 @ 20:00 - 21:00


I've seen a couple of the episodes when the series was previously run, but what a move it was!!
A 4-story brick building (& with rotton brickwork as well) taken downhill.

A great series with about 5 episodes left, even SWMBO was fascinated by it!! :shock:

Those reclaimed houses looked a good price-especially with delivery thrown in.
Didn't see the end result of the hospital move as had to pop out but what I did see was excellent-Got to had to the yanks on that one if it's possible to move it they will.
As opposed to this country where if an old farmhouse can be saved invariably it's toppled and replaced by new build mainly to take advantage of Vat relief :?
Still it's only heritage :cry:

There is a lodge house very close to the golf course on Topsham Road leading into Exeter. When Topsham Road was widened this building, rather than being demolished, was moved around 25 yards to accommodate the road widening.

The operation took several months due to the intensive foundations of the building, something that is rarely present in the buildings generally moved in America.

Still impressive though :wink:
