It was quite a delight to see the new block of flats from Beacon Hill Rise, and the new houses along Eastham Close Road nearing completion. I have lived on the Stonebridge Park Estate for over 12 years now and remember the Pevril pub very well. It was once a very popular venue for locals, and I went in quite often. Laying the foundations for the new block of apartments along Dennet Close must have been quite difficult. Workmen dug a deep trench and poured concrete into moulds to form the walls. Now that the foundation is in place it would seem that work will now begin on the new apartment block.
The new block of flats at the front of the site has maroon coloured doors, and white double glazing and finished in sand coloured bricks. Everyday work men are inside this block finishing the interior.
The photographs below show the Pevril Pub Site as it is now. It seems unbelievable, but only 22 weeks have gone by since Lovell first began building on the Stonebridge Estate and work has advanced to fast.
