Tower repair work being undertaken.
As you may know St John’s church is Grade II* and was built in 1885, by Paley and Austin at the expense of Sir Gilbert Greenall. It has been described as a ‘glorious estate church, exquisitely detailed and composed’, and the tower is considered to be one of Austin’s best. The tower has a massive 4-stages (chequerwork at third stage) with recessed octagonal spire of stone and octagonal north-west stair-turret. It is a well known landmark as you drive along the A56. The Parochial Church Council of St John’s seeks to continue the care that has been shown to this building in the past.
The tower is in need of some repair work and this will take place over the next couple of weeks, weather permitting! We are very grateful to The National Churches Trust and Historic Churches Cheshire Preservation Trust for their grants which have enabled us to get this work carried out.
Had a chance to photography Cheshire Fire Bridge in work yesterday. They abseiled down the inside of the tower from top to bottom.....I couldn't even look over the edge without my tummy going funny. Great friendly bunch of guys really enjoyed the challenge, thanks lads :)
High above the earth, an arborist navigates the towering palms—blending skill, strength, and courage against a backdrop of cumulous clouds and the endless blue.
Do you need a COVID-19 secure scissor lift?
There's one waiting for you to get your grubby hands on.

No excuse for this kind of poor working practice. A cherry picker is a highly versatile piece of access equipment which he has chosen not to use.
Today CIT's newest innovation was in testing at Indiana Harbor Belt's Michigan Avenue yard. A switcher with a fold in/out observation bucket for the yardmaster. Lost car??? No problem. Just load up the yardmaster or conductor into the bucket and track down that car in minimal time.
Yard tower...no longer needed. This innovation works great except for fog, snow, hail, rain and tornado conditions. I expect Hunter Harrison to order several of these for key CSX locations. Order yours today!
Now I am back out on the masts and towers and enjoying the views whilst working at heights on these structures.
This 36 metres Vodafone radio tower is near to Sevenoaks.

With Belshotmuir closed to normal bus modelling business pending the completion of a larger, improved diorama of the same name, over the past few days I have taken to modelling more of my emergency service vehicles. A member of one of the Facebook groups where I shared those pictures requested to see my Fire & Rescue models, which brought about this shoot.
Story -
This afternoon a 999 call alerted Scottish Fire & Rescue Service to a report of smoke escaping from the first floor window of the closed down bus depot in Belshotmuir. A pump ladder and Aerial Rescue Pump/Aerial Ladder Platform were mobilised. On arrival thick smoke was noted to be issuing from both the first floor window and roof space, with flames noted in the window. A request was made to Fire Control to make pumps three. Police were also requested to enable road closures, with Fire Control also contacting Ambulance Control to notify them. With SAS’s Special Operations Response Team (SORT) already being committed to a call, ACC dispatched one AEU to attend for Firefighter welfare. The fire was brought under control and a structural assessment will take place.
Reality -
One additional standard “pedestrian” figure was painted into Firefighter uniform (including a SCBA tank) and placed into the Aerial basket.
With no flashing LED’s etc to hand, a circle of clear plastic was cut from packaging and painted orange, before being placed over the end of a torch with flash ability, the torch then being placed inside the building.
The smoke is a mixture of both painted and unpainted cotton wool.

This 30 metre Orange OPCS tower is near to Basingstoke.
Hanging out on the outside steelwork of the mighty Wrotham Transmitter a 176.6 metre mast in the west of Kent. I have not worked at these heights for some 8 years plus so this was a real treat of an experience.
Hope these two workers (yes, there are two of them) have their "Working At Height" certificates up to date.

The operators of these machines have to climb up and down a few times a day. Must be tiring for the poor things. Lucozade gives them a pick-me-up.
On the outside of a Vodafone frame on top some flats in Kingsbury North London. BTW the antenna next to me is redundant...!
