CARRIAGE SHED 2010/11

When the Clubhouse was complete, work soon began on the new Carriage Shed.

The old Carriage Shed is built as a leanto on the back of the park Aviary. For many years it has been infested with mice, which feed on birdseed from the Aviary, the upholstery on the carriages, and many other things.

The new shed will be a good distance from the Aviary, and is intended to be mouse-proof. By June preparation was under way, and early in July the concrete base took shape.


The concrete had to be mixed the hard way.



The completed base - 18 tons of concrete.
