The first panels are removed

The museum transformed into a workshop

The old studs by the front door - with no attachment at the bottom!

Revealing the Problems

By Peter Greener

Several panels have been removed to show the full extent of the decay in the timbers and the brickwork on the chimney.

The cement infil has caused rotting around virtually every panel and many of the tenons on the studs have almost disappeared.

Removing the render from the chimney has shown how poor the brickwork is underneath.
