Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

There is a significant amount of paneling, glazing and cladding to be done at the south end of the stadium. That looks the biggest risk to me.

That's not essential to the stadium functioning. It could just be a bit breezy in the concourse for a few weeks!

There doesn't appear to be any doubt about us being ready. As long as the test events enable us to get the safety certificate, (and we wouldn't hold them before being ready to do so), then all looks on course.
Tremendous work.

I wonder what these ticketed test events will be?

A few options are being considered, ranging from opening training to charity events. First event will focus on crowd safety and stadium management. Support systems where connected are currently under test with no issues.

We’re on schedule.

Edmonton Dispensary. One of the listed buildings, along with Warmington House, that are now being restored and incorporated into the scheme.
A dispensary is an office that dispenses medications.

A Chemist!?

Big few weeks for the build. Should see the roof coming together this week, should make it look a lot closer once enclosed.

A dispensary can also mean a place where people go for medical treatment, e.g. in a school or factory. In the case of the Edmonton Dispensary I think it may have been a local clinic where people could get medical treatment before the NHS. I've no idea who operated it (charity, church, council?) and it wasn't in operation very long.

Edit. Here is some information:

The Former Tottenham and Edmonton Dispensary

The present building at 746 High Road replaced an earlier Dispensary building of 1864 that is recorded adjacent to the Red House in a c. 1905 photograph (plate 11). In the mid-19th century the site formed part of a complex of small houses, tenements and yards located to the south of the large public house and its rear yard. To the east of the site are large market
gardens, presumably serviced by the complex of buildings (plate 4). The first dispensary building must have been built soon after this map was published and is shown on the OS Map of 1894, this building had a square footprint with a rear closet wing and a further building immediately to its east (plate 5).

The rebuilding of the premises may have been due to increased subscription to the Dispensary. The Dispensary had been established as a charity, providing medical advice and medicine free of charge to the poorest of the parish. The original building was paid for by subscription and adapted with a surgery and consulting rooms. Three local practitioners gave their services free of charge and the dispenser lived on the premises. In later years, in common with many such practices, a weekly charge was levied for membership to supplement collections made at local churches, and free advice and medicine was given in case of illness. Membership cost 1d. a week, and 3d. for families and 5s. a year for servants. This entitled them to see one of the local doctors who attend the Dispensary on rotation every morning except Sundays; it also entitled their children to free vaccinations. The doctors also attended prisons. If the members required medicine they were expected to bring their own bottles to be filled. Membership was extremely popular and by 1907 there were 941 members, nearly half of which represented families. There were still 404 members when the premises were taken out of use in 1938.​

So essentially a doctors surgery for the poor.

For all those fretting about stadium completion; go on the Spurs website and look at the time lapse images of this time one year ago - as White Hart Lane was about to be demolished - and look at today. Even comparing what the site looked like from mid-March - especially the inner bowl - to what we are seeing today, is astonishing. It has roared out of the ground.

When you look at comments from the companies involved in various aspects of the build, there is a lot of pride displayed in being part of this amazing project. I don't think any of them want to let down the cause and be the reason for a delay. Because if it all goes properly and on schedule, they'll all have greatly embellished professional reputations.

When Wembley was being built, there were all sorts of stories and gossip about troubles with the build - design, materials, workmanship, mounting delays and financial over-runs. Fractured relationships and buck-passing everywhere. None of that is happening on this job. In an age of further developed social media, nowhere can you find gripes from the professionals performing this build.

I have complete faith it will be ready to play in no later than mid-September. And it is going to be fab-fcukin-ola.

Talked to a friend yesterday who may or may not work at Mace. I'm not concerned.
