It was a good thing that John Cogzell and his team of helpers did such an excellent job of tidying up the scenery workshop a few weeks back, as it is now fairly full of lengths of wood, sheets of plasterboard and bales of insulation material. There was another large delivery of wood first thing this morning, swiftly followed by a second trailer carrying steels, which are now being erected into a fitted framework by two guys and a minature crane.
The photo on the left helps explain where certain features will be in the new auditorium. The blue plasterboards (top centre) are part of the new walls. At the right end of this wall, where it meets one of the red pillars, there will be a set of double doors with a matching pair on the opposite side. At the far left end of this wall, at the top of the picture, you can see a gap with a view through to the electric cupboard. This is where the front of house corridor – which has also acquired an alternative name that I refuse to mention in print – will be, running underneath the raised seating and on top of the remainder of the 1945 floor which is clearly visible in the photo. And for those of you who are following this saga intently, we have clarified the position on those metal rings around the edge of the pool. An old photo has proved that these did indeed provide a support for swimmers but in the form of a metal handrail rather than a rope.
