The estimable Mr H enjoying a well earned sherbet in front of the latest addition to the site - a set of ‘proper’ site gates to help deter the bands of architectural robbers and general blaggards which sometimes sniff around abandoned places. All in preparation for the major bracing exercise due to commence in January - the high walls need internal support as the floor and ceiling joists which had hitherto helped transfer loads to other walls have long decayed. At its worst it looks like the top of the south wall is approx 300 mm out of plumb.
