Now it is that time of year again, and as August runs its wet course September will arrive with that “Back to school” theme.
It will be there in every supermarket you walk into, be uppermost in the minds of many young people and of course exercise the last minute preparations in homes across the city.
And down at Oswald Road school the new extension is having the finishing touches put to the interior.
Like many people I have been watching the progress since the middle of the year when the ground was first broken and the steel skeleton was being bolted together.
Much of that progress has been recorded by Andy Robertson who has been diligently photographing the stages of its construction and his work is one of those textbook examples in how how it should be done.
All too often we just take for granted the passing of one building and the creation of another, and that is a shame.
I would love to have seen Beech House which stood on the corner of Barlow Moor Road and Beech Road when it was being built in the early 19th century and later when it was pulled down sometime in 1909.
But that was not to be, so all credit to Andy who I hope will publish all the images in the fullness of time under the title.
And I rather like his own heading "hard hat on a cool tin roof" which came with for the last batch of pictures pictures.
