Sixty years ago on a typical wet August Bank Holiday weekend at exactly 1.30pm on Saturday 3rd August 1963, Oxford Circus and the surrounding streets were closed to all road traffic and non-residents, and they were not opened again until 6.30 am on Tuesday August 6th. What was going on you may ask. (August Bank Holiday was at the beginning of August in the day)

Well a massive operation was to be undertaken to place a giant 'umbrella' over what was to become the new Oxford Circus tube station ticket hall. This was part of the Victoria Line construction, and this temporary steel structure was designed to sit on top of Oxford Circus so that road traffic could drive over, while a new ticket hall was dug out and constructed underneath.

With just 65 hours to complete the project, construction staff and engineers had to seal off the road junction, and in a manner that would have modern day building contractors gasp in horror, they erected largely by hand a cage made from 245 pieces of prefabricated steel over the road and then placed the concrete roadway on top.

Having started on the Saturday they had finished the structural work by 12:15pm on the Monday, and after installing road signs, traffic lights and the like, road traffic resumed at 6:30am on the dot on the Tuesday morning.

But this magnificent feat of engineering really didn't get the press coverage it deserved, because another much bigger story developed after that very Bank Holiday weekend, and that was what the press dubbed The Great Train Robbery, but that's another story.

Top 10 Nick x Charlie fics I’ve read (July 2024)

Damn, I Miss You Tonight by Cherry_likethefruit [M]

“I think no talk about uni should mean no talk about GCSEs either.” Nick felt a bit unmoored. There was something in the way Charlie was looking at him that made his heartbeat quicken. “Uh, what do you want to talk about then?” “We could talk about…Saturday?” Charlie took his bottom lip between his teeth, and suddenly Nick was finding it nearly impossible to ignore his growing erection. He wasn’t really sure how Charlie made the gesture look both shy and obscene at the same time, but the combination was really working for him. Nick swallowed hard, trying to maintain some semblance of cool for at least a while longer. “Are you excited for the fête?” Charlie smirked. “I mean, that wasn’t really the exciting event I had in mind.”

The Eight by PansyFace22 [M]

He’s not sure why Gary wanted him to come tonight but the more Gary’s friends keeps talking, the less Nick wants to be here and the more keenly he’s wishing he had never said yes to his friend’s invitation. These guys are seriously whinging about women not giving them a chance and there’s only so much Nick can tune out. Gary has, as far as Nick can tell, brought him right into the middle of a huddle of straight guys freaking out about being straight. Why is he here?

Good Girl Nellie Nelson by NellieSayzBork [G]

Season One, Episode Two: The infamous snow scene through the eyes of Nellie Nelson.

Hey there, neighbour! by seafoamVans [G]

Charlie leads a quiet life. Maybe it's a bit boring. Enter the single dad that just moved in down the street.

How to Build Your Dream Home by NellieSayzBork [T]

At 35, Charlie is finally getting what he wants: A forever home with the love of his life, Ben Hope. They've chosen a beautiful country property in desperate need of some TLC, but as an architect and interior designer, respectively, it will be a dream come true. Of course, as with any reno, they'll need a contractor. Enter Nick Nelson, of Nelson Custom Renos. CW for emotional and verbal abuse being spewed by the world's biggest prick, Ben Hope. But I promise, there's a happy ending! #f*ckbenhope

number neighbour by kay_lalala [T]

Out of pure boredom, Nick decides to text his number neighbour while sitting on a train that's horrendously delayed. You'll never guess what happens next. ..well yes, that's the story. Maybe with a little twist though. OR: Nick: Right now I am trying to get to London. You? ~ unknown: same! funny. what a strange coincidence

The Race by 7ate9 [G]

“Who would win in a race, Nick or Charlie?” *** Nick and Charlie, or @nickncharchar, went viral on TikTok. The first time.

Really Good Mates by pheoni, RosieC88 [T]

5 times Christian thought Nick and Charlie were really good mates + 1 time he realised how shit his gaydar was.

Showstopper by PansyFace22 [M]

Buzz is building around the queer extravaganza that’s planned for this season’s run with a bisexual Bachelor - England’s own star pro-rugby player Nicholas Nelson. But what are the showmakers going to do for twelve episodes if their Bachelor and one of the newcomer contestants have fallen in love at first sight? ‘Would you … kiss someone, in front of the cameras?’ Charlie asks, his heart hammering louder than the music in his ears. He moves his body again, feet squeaking closer to Nick’s, his finger where it lies along Nick’s finger on the floor suddenly pressing. He hitches in a breath as he feels Nick’s pinky finger hook onto his. Nick looks at him, his head drifting slightly closer, then he takes a quick breath and looks away. ‘I don’t know … maybe?’ he says.

Spring Exotic by ZookeeperHere [M]

Nick Nelson is 31 years old and has recently inherited a ferret he never wanted from his ex-boyfriend who left him to sail around the world with a "new" boyfriend just six weeks ago. He finds himself stuck not only with Ruthie the ferret, but with six more months on a lease in Rye where he never pictured himself living and knows no one. Charlie Spring is a well-known gothic horror author who has purchased an old funeral home in Rye that he is slowly and lovingly renovating. He lets his veterinarian brother move in with him and convert the old medical facility of the home into a modern small animal clinic. One random day, a concerned Nick brings his new ferret friend to the vet. As he sits in the waiting room, daydreaming as he frequently does about his long-lost crush from secondary school, he is shocked when a man that looks exactly like that crush steps out to call him back… -OR- Nick and Charlie were nothing more than friendly acquaintances back at Truham and Nick has always wished he had been brave enough back then to pursue something more. Now, over a decade after the two last spoke, fate has gifted him a second chance and he is determined to make the most of it…

Kitchen Renovation Unearths Paintings Nearly 400 Years Old in York

Murals believed to be nearly 400 years old have been discovered at an apartment in northern England following a kitchen renovation.

Luke Budworth, 29, his partner Hazel Mooney, 26, and their dog Leonard had temporarily moved out of the one-bedroom apartment in the cathedral city of York while their new kitchen was being fitted in December.

Then Budworth received a call from the contractors. He said Monday: "In a very casual way they said, 'did you know there's a painting behind here?'"

By the time Budworth went to take a look, the new kitchen cupboards were on the wall, covering the frieze -- the only evidence of the discovery was a blurry picture taken by the fitters.

Though disappointed, Budworth, a research data analyst at the University of Leeds, suspected that a similar "bit of paneling" on the other side of the open plan living area may be hiding something too.

"It was painted the same as the rest of the wall and I knew it was hollow," he said. "I always thought it was probably just covering some pipes." His suspicion proved correct. "It was a matching piece," he said.

According to Budworth, both friezes measure about 9 feet by 4 feet -- though they are cut off at the top by the ceiling.

The old city of York is encircled by an ancient wall and Budworth's apartment, which he bought in October 2020, lies within that in Micklegate -- one of the city's main streets. The apartment, which sits above a cafe and a charity book shop, is part of a Grade II listed Georgian building dating back to 1747.

"We thought maybe it was Victorian wallpaper, but it was way, way beyond how old I thought it was initially," said Budworth.

The newly exposed frieze depicts a Biblical scene in which a man in a cage is pulled along by an angel. There is also a man in a white cart who, according to Budworth, "looks like he's riding to the kingdom of heaven."

"Really excited," Budworth contacted Historic England, a public body that looks after the country's historic environment. A representative was then sent to survey the artwork and take some detailed professional photographs.

Historic England gave the couple a high quality, life size replica of the frieze and advised them to cover it up in order to preserve it.

Undertaking some historic detective work, Budworth went online and found that both friezes featured scenes from a 1635 book called "Emblems," written by poet Francis Quarles.

"The wall paintings pre-date the flat itself," said Budworth, explaining that the artwork was carried out on a wall of a building that no longer exists. In other words, the building was constructed around an existing wall.

The paintings are believed to have been created between 1635, when "Emblems" was written, and 1700 when such artwork fell out of fashion, Historic England has advised the couple, according to Budworth.

'Fascinating' find

Though the couple do not have the resources to invest in professional conservation of the exposed frieze, they have been keen to incorporate it in their decor.

Budworth said: "If we could find some sort of funding to help conserve it I would be willing to go to the extent of taking the [kitchen] cupboards off the wall but unfortunately I don't see that happening. The other one though will be preserved as best we can."

Historic England confirmed that it had visited the property and had now passed on images of the paintings to the Conservation of Wall Painting department at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London.

A spokeswoman for Historic England said: "The discovery of these 17th century murals in a home in Micklegate, York is fascinating. They were first discovered in 1998 then covered over. We have been involved with documenting the murals and supporting the present owner with how best to look after them since they were rediscovered recently.

"They raise various questions about the ages of the buildings in this row of historic homes and the history of Micklegate itself. Finds like this tell us that our historic homes have many secrets and we've been pleased to work with this homeowner on looking after these murals for the future."

Mortlake, a charming area in southwest London, is home to a variety of residential and commercial properties. Whether you own a period home or a modern build, maintaining a solid roof is essential for protecting your property from the unpredictable British weather. This guide covers everything you need to know about Mortlake roofing, including common roofing materials, signs of roof damage, and how to find the right roofing professional.

Common Roofing Materials in Mortlake

The roofing materials used in Mortlake homes vary depending on the age and style of the property. Here are some of the most common options:

Slate Roofing

A popular choice for traditional homes, slate is durable, weather-resistant, and offers a classic appearance.

Clay Tiles

Found on many period properties, clay tiles add character while providing excellent insulation and longevity.

Asphalt Shingles

A cost-effective and versatile option, asphalt shingles are often used for newer homes.

Flat Roofs

Frequently seen on extensions and commercial buildings, flat roofs require regular maintenance to prevent leaks.

Signs You Need Roof Repairs

A well-maintained roof can last for decades, but wear and tear are inevitable. Watch out for these warning signs that indicate your roof may need attention:

Leaking or Water Stains

Damp patches on ceilings or walls suggest a potential roof leak.

Missing or Damaged Tiles

Strong winds and heavy rain can dislodge tiles, leading to further damage if not addressed.

Moss or Algae Growth

While moss may seem harmless, it can trap moisture and cause roof deterioration over time.

Sagging Roof Structure

A drooping roofline is a serious issue that requires immediate professional inspection.

Choosing a Reliable Mortlake Roofing Professional

When it comes to roof repairs or replacements, hiring an experienced and trustworthy roofer is crucial. Here’s what to consider when selecting a Mortlake roofing specialist:

Check Credentials

Ensure the roofer is accredited by organisations like the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) or Trust Mark.

Ask for References

A reputable roofer should provide examples of previous work and customer testimonials.

Request a Detailed Quote

Get a written estimate that outlines the cost of materials, labour, and any additional charges.

Look for Insurance Coverage

A professional roofing contractor should have public liability insurance to cover any potential damages.

Final Thoughts

Maintaining your roof is an essential part of homeownership. Whether you need minor repairs or a complete roof replacement, understanding the basics of Mortlake roofing will help you make informed decisions. Regular inspections, prompt repairs, and choosing a skilled professional will ensure your roof remains in top condition for years to come.

5 Key Benefits of the SSSTS Course in London

In the construction sector, safety is not simply a priority; it is a need. Any construction project must prioritize the safety of workers and the smooth operation of the site. Taking the SSSTS (Site Supervisors' Safety Training Scheme) course is one approach to ensuring that you are adequately prepared to oversee this critical area of your profession. This course will provide you with the legal, health, safety, welfare, and environmental information needed to supervise construction sites effectively. 

In this blog, we'll go over all you need to know about the SSSTS course in London, including its primary benefits and why it's an essential qualification for anyone wishing to work as a supervisor in the construction business. Whether you're already a construction supervisor or looking for a promotion, read on to learn how this training can help you progress your career while also keeping you compliant with safety requirements. 

What is the SSSTS course? 

Before we go into the benefits of the SSSTS course in London, let's explain what it comprises. We exclusively created the SSSTS course, a two-day classroom-based training program, for individuals who currently hold or aspire to hold supervisory positions on construction sites. 

The training focuses on comprehending health and safety rules, conducting risk assessments, dealing with hazardous products, and encouraging worker welfare on-site. The CITB (Construction Industry Training Board) and UKCG (UK Contractors Group) acknowledge the SSSTS course as the industry standard for construction supervisors, making it an essential qualification for anyone looking to work in the construction business. 

5 Key Advantages of the SSSTS Course in London 

Now that we've covered the basics of the course, let's look at the top five reasons why the SSSTS course London is a must-have for construction supervisors. 

1. Accredited by leading industry bodies. 

One of the major advantages of the SSSTS course in London is that it is approved by both CITB and UKCG, two of the most reputable institutions in the UK construction sector. 

• CITB accreditation assures construction training meets high safety and competency standards. Employers in the industry accept this accreditation throughout the UK, making it a reliable qualification.

• UKCG certification enhances the course's reputation and ensures it meets current legal and regulatory requirements. 

This official recognition implies that if you complete the SSSTS course, you will receive a certificate that businesses will recognize, increasing your employability and career opportunities in the construction industry. 

2. Understand the legalities and regulations of construction safety. 

In construction, safety is not an option; it is a legal mandate. The SSSTS training aims to assist supervisors in comprehending their legal obligation to guarantee construction sites adhere to safety standards.

You will get a thorough understanding of the Health and Safety at Work Act, the Construction (Design and Management) requirements (CDM 2015), and other HSE requirements. As a supervisor, you must grasp these regulations in order to avoid potential fines and legal consequences, as well as, most significantly, to prevent workplace accidents and injuries. 

Here's what you'll learn about legal requirements:

• Perform extensive risk assessments on building sites. 

• Identify and effectively mitigate potential threats. 

• The supervisor is responsible for promoting a culture of site safety.

• Understanding the legal repercussions of non-compliance and avoiding them. 

With this expertise, you'll be able to lead a team that prioritizes safety and ensures that your location complies with all applicable rules.

3. Build your career with a recognized qualification. 

An SSSTS course in London opens up numerous employment prospects in the construction business. By finishing this course, you will position yourself for career growth. We specifically developed the training for individuals who are currently or intend to take on a supervisory role on construction sites.

Here's how the SSSTS course can help your career: 

• Increased job opportunities: Many construction businesses demand supervisors to have an SSSTS qualification to fulfill industry requirements. Completing the course will offer you a competitive advantage over those who do not hold this qualification. 

• Qualified construction supervisors have more earning potential compared to unqualified individuals. By obtaining this industry-recognized credential, you can position yourself for higher-paying jobs and promotions. 

• Looking to advance your career? The SSSTS course in London is a fantastic starting point for the SMSTS (Site Management Safety Training Scheme) course. The SSSTS qualification is required for SMSTS, which focuses on site management rather than supervision. 

By obtaining the SSSTS course in London, you are investing in your future and guaranteeing that you have the tools needed to advance in the construction sector. 

4. Interactive and Engaging Learning Experiences 

We at SafetyMark Training realize that interactive and interesting learning is most successful. That is why we developed the SSSTS course to be very participatory, with hands-on activities, group discussions, and real-world examples. 

The course is taught in a classroom format where you will collaborate with other construction industry professionals. You'll be able to ask questions, discuss your experiences, and participate in group exercises that make learning more enjoyable and practical. 

Professional trainers, who specialize in building safety, will provide you with support beyond classroom learning. Their practical experience ensures that the course material remains relevant and up-to-date with industry trends and legal requirements. 

Within two days, you'll have gained valuable knowledge and be able to apply it to your supervisory duties.

5. Complete the course in just two days. 

One of the primary benefits of the SSSTS course is its compact, two-day style. In just two days, you'll learn everything you need to know to become a proficient construction supervisor while still maintaining your job schedule. This is especially useful for busy professionals who may be hesitant to commit to long-term training programs. 

The course will walk you through all of the important components of building site safety, such as legal obligations, risk assessments, handling hazardous chemicals, and promoting welfare standards. It's a demanding curriculum, but it's designed to be manageable and focused on the critical areas required to thrive in your profession. 

After completing the course, you will receive an authorized CITB certificate that is valid for five years. After five years, you must refresh the qualification to ensure that your knowledge is current with any changes to construction safety requirements. 

Who should take the SSSTS course? 

The SSSTS course in London is excellent for those who:

• Hold a supervisory position in the construction business. 

• Looking to advance to a supervisory role by gaining relevant knowledge and qualifications. 

• Aim to comply with industry rules and enhance safety culture on building sites. 

If you wish to advance your career in construction and take on greater responsibility, the SSSTS course is ideal for you. It's particularly suitable for: 

• Construction supervisors looking to refresh or formalize their qualifications. 

• Supervisors and foremen want to improve their skills in site safety. 

• Workers seeking supervisory training.

Choosing the Right Formwork Contractor: Key Factors to Consider

When embarking on a construction project, the foundation is key. But what holds that foundation in place during its early stages? Enter formwork—a temporary structure that shapes and supports concrete until it sets. Choosing the right formwork contractor is crucial to ensure your project runs smoothly and stays within budget. With so many options out there, how do you select the best fit for your needs? Let’s explore some essential factors to consider when making this important decision.

Understanding the Importance of Formwork in Construction

Formwork is the backbone of any concrete construction project. It provides the necessary shape and support for the poured concrete, ensuring it sets correctly. Without proper formwork, you risk structural integrity issues. The quality of formwork directly impacts the final outcome. A well-constructed form allows for smooth finishes and precise dimensions, which are vital in achieving architectural designs. Poorly executed formwork can lead to complications down the line, costing time and money. Moreover, effective formwork helps streamline construction timelines. Quick assembly and disassembly keep projects on schedule while minimizing delays. With a reliable contractor at your side, you can expect efficient processes that enhance productivity. Investing in skilled professionals with expertise in formwork pays off significantly. Their knowledge ensures compliance with safety standards while optimizing material use—ultimately contributing to a successful build.

Safety Standards and Compliance

When selecting formwork contractors, safety standards and compliance should be top of mind. Construction sites can be hazardous environments, making adherence to safety regulations crucial. A reputable contractor will prioritize worker safety through comprehensive training programs. They ensure that all team members are well-versed in safe practices and emergency procedures. This not only protects the workforce but also safeguards your project timeline. Moreover, certified formwork contractors utilize equipment that meets or exceeds industry standards. Regular inspections and maintenance of machinery reduce risks significantly. Check if they have a strong track record of compliance with local regulations as well as international best practices. A commitment to following these guidelines reflects their professionalism and reliability on-site, which can ultimately save you time and money during construction projects.

Quality of Materials Used

The choice of materials is crucial when selecting formwork contractors. High-quality materials ensure durability and stability throughout the construction process.

Using inferior materials can lead to structural issues, costly repairs, and delays. It’s essential to ask potential contractors about their sourcing practices for formwork supplies. Look for contractors who prioritize sustainability alongside quality. Eco-friendly options not only mitigate environmental impact but also often offer superior performance. Additionally, inquire about the specific brands or types of materials they use. Trusted names in the industry typically reflect reliability and longevity in construction projects. Don’t hesitate to request examples from previous work. A strong portfolio showcasing diverse applications can provide insight into a contractor's material choices and overall craftsmanship.
