The paint stripping has been completed apart from the tidying up.\u00a0\u00a0 The South gable is very prominent when turning the corner into the High Street at the bottom of The Hill.\u00a0 There is a very odd stepped gable which doesn’t work in Magnolia paint.<\/p>\n

Driving home from work one day I saw the magnolia had disappeared from the top of the south gable.\u00a0 For me it transformed the building into something nice instead of the eyesore I am used to.\u00a0 Though the flat roof toilet block still needs a bit of work.<\/p>\n

The south elevation was painted quite recently –\u00a0 at some point after 1987.\u00a0 The bricks haven’t suffered any damage and the whole wall has a consistent colour.\u00a0\u00a0 Apart from the north gable I think most of the building was rebuilt in 1910.<\/p>\n

The pointing is in a poor state.\u00a0\u00a0 Being a tenanted building the place has been neglected since it was built.\u00a0 That’s a wonderful thing.\u00a0 Nobody has filled the gaps with difficult to remove cement to trap water and damage the bricks.\u00a0\u00a0 My mission over the next few months is to re-point in lime mortar and sharp sand (and rebuild the top of the wall in the photo which is made from levitating bricks).<\/p>\n

Finally another picture of some bath stone, this time below the curved bay window in the snug.\u00a0 The building work from 1910 was carried out to a very high standard.<\/p>\n
