You may remember that some while ago I posted this picture below. The roots of the huge Elm tree behind the wall had dislodged a number of bricks and the coping.
At the time I was worried that it wouldn't be mended as quickly as one would have liked, allowing some ne'er-do-wells to use the fallen bricks to break car or house windows. Luckily this didn't happen.
Well, I'm very happy to report that the wall has now been mended, and looks as good as new (old).

Well done those brickies, and well done to the church big-wigs who ordered the repair.
The wall is still wonky, it respects the tree's wishes, and it looks right grand (Yorkshire accent)!
A good job very well done.
ReplyDeleteI must say, I was impressed.
DeleteThe power of constant pressure at work.
ReplyDeleteWhoever organised the work did well.
DeleteIn Yorkshire it would look 'Reet Grand'!
ReplyDeleteOK, OK, I'm just an ignorant southerner.
DeleteWell done to your council. Looks old and wonky as it should
ReplyDeleteChurch, not council
DeleteGood sympathetic mending.
DeleteNicely done brick work. The repair blends nicely with the original wall. This brick layer knows his business well.
ReplyDeleteYes a lovely job, you'd hardly know it'd been mended.
DeleteGlad you are happy. What's with the hunchback which I remember from first time round. Why did they maintain it on point of repair? If a hairdresser took that approach to soothing your locks they'd soon be out of business.

They've repaired it exactly as it was. Just as they should have.
DeleteLooks good, thank you for the update.
ReplyDeleteIt does a heart good to see a repair done within the year.
Yes, I was as surprised as you!!
Deletewhen I saw you were talking about mending I thought maybe it would be about the little shop at the 'seven dials' that used to have a lady in the window mending stocking, lol

I saw Berry and Son on the TV recently. It was a silly programme, so I didn't really watch to see what was going on.
DeleteI'm pleased they did not try to make it look straight.
ReplyDeleteMe too, they did a good job.
DeletePerfect.
ReplyDeleteThe cementing on top will need some ageing, but otherwise it really is perfect.
DeleteThe fence now looks like it was never broken! Well done brickies!
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
