The scaffolding around the Arches should be going up over the next few days, and then Gary and his lads from Heritage Consolidation Ltd will be repairing the Arches before the winter sets in, we all hope. Mid September sees more archaeology work on the chimney structures and the mill race. We’ve got training planned in Lime slaking and mortaring, and in soft-capping techniques, alongside the archaeology, and after those, were hosting a public meeting, open to everyone, to bring you all up to date with the progress made so far. Here’s the dates for the events:
Archaeology volunteers: 16th – 20th September
Soft Capping Training: Weds 25th September
Lime Slaking and Mortaring training: Weds 2nd October
Open Meeting: Wednesday 16th October, Whitley Chapel Parish Hall, evening
If you;re interrested in joining in any of these please email us on dukesfield @ outlook .com
