One thing though, as they reconstructed the collapse of the chamber an earthwork was left. This was a hollow. Was that there before they started digging……..

I pretty sure the site was flat before they did any digging. There would also have been a lot of disturbed soil around from previous road and rail work in the immediate area.

would like to have known about the rest of the site ,as this must surely merit a total inch by inch evaluation or even total excavtion to natural. That is unless the road widening has been cancelled.

As far as I know, the road widening is still going ahead, but not before the area has been thoroughly checked.

Weeeeellll……..not actually living in Southend !!

The road widening will go ahead, I think I can safely predict

I believe the MOL did want to undertake some more work on the site before work started. Due to it being taken over by the swampyites, this is now unlikely to happen.
