A BUILDING company has included a time capsule in one of its latest projects.
Allenbuild Ltd, part of the Blackrod-based Allen group, is building a new Hair and Beauty facility at Wigan and Leigh College.
Managing Director Stewart Bonnette helped college principal Margaret Murdin preserve artefacts for future generations - copies of local and national newspapers, a hard hat and a college prospectus.
Work on the contract began in June, 1997 and is due for completion in August this year.
The new building will accommodate about 500 students. Steady as she goes - Mr Bonnette and Mrs Murdin lower the capsule into its chamber.
