Storm Tower Marks Progress with Cross Reinstallation

Storm Tower Marks Progress with Cross Reinstallation

On Monday 8 January 2024, the Storm Tower at Compass Point reached a pivotal moment as the cross was successfully reinstated, signifying the latest advancement in the ongoing rebuild.

Despite a recent spell of rain and wind, the day unfolded under the crisp clarity of a beautiful, clear sky, albeit accompanied by a biting wind. The careful operation saw the cross gracefully winched above the tower and then lowered to reclaim its rightful position.

After navigating through challenging weather conditions in recent weeks, the current favourable weather trend sets the stage for the upcoming final phases. The next step involves securing the roof onto the steel framework that was lifted into position just before Christmas.

The once incomplete skyline now proudly displays the familiar silhouette of the Storm Tower, underscoring a significant step toward its full restoration.
