Not fast enough, 100M would be good, 1000M would be better, we are
moving large files around.

I get the feeling it isn't going to be cheap then if 100M isn't going
to be fast enough.  It's a shame you can't stick some fibre through
the sewers :-)

I had a quick look for Microwave links, I'm not sure what sort of
pricing they are, I'm guessing probably expensive.

This company might be able to advise though:

I suppose the other option would be to look at getting fibre put in,
but again I'm assuming that wouldn't be cheap even for a short
distance.
We thought of the sewer option!
100m would do at a push but I would be a problem on occasions.
I will have a look at that URL.

String a washing or fishing line between the two buildings (high up),
and hang the fibre optic from that?

Our new building is only 6 feet from the old one, so we are using a
scafold pole and heavy earth clamp at each end as a conduit until
after the Move.

Good batting thinkman - you could disguise it as bunting for englands defeat later today to avoid planning issues.
