clearing these up again next month. For now we are still concentrating on digging out the roots and undergrowth from the old Queens Park End and made progress this week. Cleared and levelled another 2 sections of the terrace and lined with red blaes.
However the original stonework underneath was deeply entrenched in moss and this took hours just to wire brush and clean off, but again am really happy with the final results. Although we are still
missing one long kerbstone here, this can be replaced once we buy the concrete and can begin to
refill the missing stepping. Most important for us is to realign the terrace steps that remain and remove the muck, ash and weeds permanently in order to prepare this section for the concrete. In the meantime however the red ash looks good and this area is now visibly improved from pitch level.
Really satisfied with our progress this year, despite the incremental nature of the work, but this is a 7 year project and we are still only beginning. This East Terrace has been a lot harder than anticipated due to the neglect and vandalism over the years but it is coming back to life and will be returned to full usage in the next year. Thanks for all your support, messages, visits and offers of help as they have inspired me to keep on going!
