the lorry that delivered it.

This view, taken in March 2009, from just north of the present Musuem building,
shows the area to be occupied by the New Museum and Carriage Shed. It is much
easier to see the site now the tress have been felled and the undergrowth cleared. The boundary between the Bluebell land
and the Woodpak site is to the left of the two buildings. |
| |
 |
|
This view is taken from where the boundary wall of the new building will be.
The lorry is parked on the Bluebell area and the boundary runs to the left of the building behind the lorry
and just to the right of the grey building in the background. |
