As they are a bit different to those taken by tigerman I hope these photos are welcome and not considered a bit pointless posting them. By coincidence I took them today (Sept 24 2015) before I knew of tigerman's photos.
The first is a general view of the Leeds Station Southern Entrance (LSSE) site that includes the very tall crane. It was nice weather when taken just before 11:30 a.m., so it missed the short but very heavy spell of rain in the centre of Leeds about 40 minutes or so later! The second shows some men working under the structure and the third is a zoomed-in view of those men.

BTW Leodian I only put tigermans & others photos on here because I think Skyscraper City hosts better photos than Secret Leeds

These are a couple of photos I took on October 1 2015. The second is a zoomed-in view of the 'gold' feature and the first is a general view of the LSSE work. There sure is a lot of scaffolding

I posted a photo on February 25 2014 that I took that day at the LSSE site. In my post I also commented that in that photo some eroded looking ground is seen at the side of the river on the left bank (looking up river). After enlarging that image I then posted a close-up of the eroded area on February 26. It has looked the same since until when I was there on October 1 2015 I noticed that soil was being placed over that area, presumably to make it look better, so took this photo. I cannot be sure, but it does not look like any strengthening of the area was done. I've also noticed the odd (interesting?) shaped block just to the right and down of the white bag. It looks as if it could have been made that way, but if so why?

These are a couple of photos that I took at the LSSE site on October 22 2015. The first shows the external look of the LSSE is very obvious now. The second shows some of the 'gold' structures that I saw just arriving by barge, presumably ready to be fitted on the LSSE.

These are a couple of photos (reduced in quality and size) that I took of the LSSE work on November 5 2015. The first shows a front view in which the almost finished external look is seen but the second is a side view that shows there is still work going on.
Hopefully the current 'problem' that some older photos are no longer shown will be resolved, as it will be a shame if the photographic record of the LSSE work in this thread will be permanently lost.
