Barham - Lifting the stone paving

Paving lifted and lain alongside its original position
The Portland Stone paving has been lifted for cleaning

We are now in the process of lifting the Portland Stone paving in Barham.  This will allow us to carry out the rest of the cleaning of the stone and also to create a new base for the paving to be re-laid upon.

The image above shows the area immediately outside of the house where the stone has been lifted and lain, on boards, in order for correct reinstatement. You can also see that the existing base layer is being excavated to allow for a fresh, new, level base to be installed.
