A view of the St. James development taken from Dover's Western Heights on 3rd October 2017.
The four turrets on the M&S unit have been enclosed awaiting insulating before the outer cladding is put in place. Glazing has been installed on the side of M&S and partial brick sets laid below the yellow brickwork to the western end of the building. Further back a crane is still working on the Travelodge with scaffolding now removed from the southern end revealing a clean off white facade, and the Block A service area (off Townwall Street) is being levelled off.
To the bottom right of the photograph is the tarmac area that in part once former the 'slip' used by westbound A20 traffic to avoid the former York Street roundabout - now just a flat area fenced off against the De Bradelei car park. I wonder if this might be the location of the envisaged 'land bridge' that could connect the waterfront with the town (i.e. across the A20)?
