WEEK 5 - Day 19 Ground Works, Scaffolding, Local News

To view how the site looked this morning link to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4kHwgCSaVY
The preparations for erecting our temporary building store can be seen and there is a tour around and inside of Stove House 5. It is amazing that Henry Thompson only had this constructed in 1965, but it is to a much earlier design. Most of our work is targeted at recording and dismantling Stove House 5, so that it can be re-built on a new foundation. All materials will be stored and repaired for re-building in 2010. The revitalised building will house the Lion Salt Works Museum shop, cafe and interpretation centre. Much of the rest of this blog will detail how the dismantling will be carried out.

Site Manager, David Marsh gave a short tour to the editor of the Marston parish newsletter, Sarah Hubbard. Sarah has been passing on information about the start of our works to local residents through her monthly newsletter. To help her to understand the work she was given a close up view of the progress we have made. William Anelay Ltd are signed up to the Considerate Constructors Scheme - http://www.ccscheme.org.uk/ , so keeping our neighbours well informed is important to them, and helps to get feedback from locals who might have issues with aspects of the work. Our door is always open if anyone has any problems, or indeed if they want to tell us that we are exceeding their expectations.
