Yet another stalled construction project. This one a small block of flats opposite what used to be Alio's fine delicatessen, southern Italy flavoured. A project from Zestan, the people responsible for the much larger blocks of flats down Court Lane, previously noticed, for example, at reference 1. Still, I am told, empty apart from the eastern European construction workers who have been allowed by the eastern European owner to doss down there. But I ought to check for myself, rather than relying on gossip.
A snap taken with my back to Zestan's new headquarters in part of what was said delicatessen, the part that the council said, quite wrongly to my mind, had to stay in commercial use. So at least the headquarters' workers will know about the eyesore. They might even get pestered by irritated neighbours.
PS 1: Cortana did quite well, given that the camera on the telephone was pointing towards the sun, not quite visible below the top left hand corner of the block. Only evidence of which being the very neat halo, not visible to the naked eye...
PS 2: another blunder. I had thought that the lane was Courthouse Lane rather than Court Lane, named for the one-time presence of a court house. Overlooking the fact that the lane led to Court Recreation Ground, named for the Court Farm of which it was once part. Which has only just dawned on me.
