feats of engineering in construction these days, HS2 for example.

However, I don't think any of them are as impressive as moving an entire 8 storey telephone exchange backwards, then rotating it through 90 degrees, all whilst people carried on working inside it with no interruption to water, gas, electricity or the telephone network. Even more impressive is that it was done in 1930.

The last I heard, Kev Johns trial is due to start in Mold Crown Court on April 26th - that's next Monday. That date was decided last September so it's possible it may have changed.
