Reconstruction of the 1880 circular drive

10 December, 2010 16:24 by Anne

In-between days and days of rain, work continues to reconstruct the 1880 circular drive.  Final services are installed underground on the north side of the site while work to prepare the road base commences on the south side.  Preparation of the road base is slow going with all this rain.
