Views of the turbine

Mostly minute.

From Laughton Road

From Moor Lane

From Potato Lane

From Barcombe.










It is there, honestly. You have to look hard to see it.

And it's up

The wind turbine is up. Not working yet, that will take a few days.

The blades are up, but still held in place by the crane.

Now the crane has let go.

Dusk falls and there are still people working up in the hub.

Wind turbine goes up

After some delays - German suppliers, who'd have thought it ;-)  - the parts of Glyndebourne's wind turbine have been delivered and are being erected. Thursday 13th October the first part of the tower was put in place, grouted and bolted and left overnight to harden.

On the ground. Blades and the first section of the tower.

Blades assembled.

Two cranes start the lift of the first section.

The larger crane now takes the weight.

In position.

The view from Gote Lane. You can see it if you look hard.
