Is this the biggest crane ever seen in Hitchin?

Temporary traffic lights have been installed on Bancroft to allow a giant crane to carry out vital work turning Hitchin's former Venue bar into flats.

As Nub News has reported previously the former late night bar on Bancroft is being torn down, with Henlow-based developers Robkit Developments, set to build 13 apartments - after conditional planning permission had been granted by North Herts District Council a full five years ago

Building work had stalled through lockdown but the project is taking shape to convert the site of the former Phoenix, Tut'n'Shive and the Adam & Eve into flats.

The original application, seen by Hitchin Nub News, requests a "change of use from offices (B1 use) and bar / nightclub (A4 use) to 2 x 1 bedroom flats and 11 x 2 bedroom flats."
