Build A Better Burger (6) - 18 February 2017

The McDonald's at Speedfields Park, Fareham closed in late January 2017 for a major refurbishment of the whole site. Although well patronised, this branch had suffered from limited parking (although there are other car parks nearby) and an awkwardly placed drive thru, the queue for which could affect local traffic movement and access to parking.

Construction pictures, especially those taken mid-project, are diificult to take well and tend to lack the compositional qualities one seeks in most photographs. Nevertheless, they capture the transitional and are thus of some value to those looking back in the perhaps distant future.

Two weeks after my last pictures, the site was busy on a Saturday morning and it was becoming clear how the extended building and re-modelled site are designed to cope better with the drive thru business. It is interesting to compare this picture with the similar view from 4 February 2017.
