Another brick in the wall and conserved at Willow Court, as the restoration/conservation joint project makes a start. Anne Salt the current Chairperson of the Friends of Willow Court is pictured below chipping all the bricks out then applying mortar which was made to a traditional mix of river sand and lime. Each of the weathered bricks are chipped out and then turned around before being remortared. The finished section is then pointed ready for the finishing lime wash. This is a joint project between the Tidy Towns Committee and the Friends of Willow Court/DVC.
The new Lime wash has started to be applied today and so far two coats have gone on. You can see some of the original colour on the wall and the new colour would be very similar. This is a big job the Friends of Willow Court and the Tidy Town group have taken on but will done all.
