NEWNHAM PARK ESTATE.

Newnham Park estate Coping

We have for the last few months been carrying out repairs to a Grade II listed garden wall in the grounds of Newnham Park Estate in Plympton, Plymouth. One section of the wall had collapsed whilst another section had to be taken down as it was on the point of collapse and deemed to be too dangerous in its present state. Now that both sections of wall have been rebuilt, we have almost finished laying a new slate coping on top of its entire length.

In the next few days the work should be completely finished after which we will post a link to our main website showing you what was carried out.

Monumental Gateway

Here’s an interesting little project we carried out a few years ago. We were nominated by Plymouth City Council to carry out the complete reconstruction of a Grade II listed monumental gateway at Lockyer’s Quay in Plymouth, Devon.

This link will take you back to our main website telling you what was involved. There you will also find a link to the original archeologists report detailing its full history.

DATESTONE.

2009

A datestone is typically a stone embedded in a building or structure with the date of its engraving. Some may also have additional information carved into them. All datestones have a story to tell and the story behind this particular datestone would require a far bigger piece of granite than this to tell it!
