Description

A section of an overhead crane is brought on site during the construction of the new BICC (British Insulated Callender's Cables) works at Prescot. After a brief shot of an office interior, a lorry is seen carrying a crane section from the main road on to the construction site and delivering it to a new building. Concludes with brief footage of a worker sandblasting concrete panels and shots inside and outside the building under construction.
