AndrewC Â Â 307 #25 Posted September 26, 2016 Apparently it is a structural issue, though I'm not sure of the details, or the extent of the problem. The width of the scaffolding in front of it would fit with that theory; it's several meters deep with loads of bars supporting the structure - not what you'd see if it was just access scaffolding for some painting/cleaning/renovation works etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
