	Harvey Lane Heartsease surface drainage [4225] 1953-10-25 As it was seen that all the land available in the city for house-building would be utilised within a few years, and area to the north-east (including the old Mousehold Aerodrome site) was in 1950 brought within the city boundary. Before houses could be erected, arrangements for linking the site with the sewerage system had to be made, and in 1953 tunnelling began in Harvey Lane for the surface drainage. Cranes in Harvey Lane were at the heads of shafts connecting with the tunnel, and were used in the removal of earth, and the lowering of the pre-cast concrete segments used in the formation of the drain walls.
