Two different sets of security gates erected last week – sign of the times I am afraid.
One set for Cross Engineering in Devizes for Henry Timmis, and one for a new development site in Westbury.
Both sets 1.8m high and of galvanised metal.

Conservation Contractors at work in the Churchyard at Ludgershall
A busy couple of days dismantling a 20m high split horse chestnut tree at St James Church in Ludgershall.
We were contacted by the Church to inspect the tree following the loss of a large limb during recent windy weather. On inspection, the tree was found to be in an unsafe condition as it was agreed to remove it completely and grind out the stump.
Some of the timber was retained by the village to construct a Hibernaculum close by, and larger pieces were used by villagers for tabletops!
Thanks to Rev Tim for this time-lapse video; also starring Iggy and Gerri the sheep in the foreground.
“Thank you to the brilliant tree surgeons who came and safely took down our damaged Horse Chestnut in our churchyard!”
Vermin-proof fence around the gardens at Iford Manor
Our project here was to erect a vermin-proof fence around the gardens at Iford Manor; The Iford Manor Estate nestles between Westwood and Freshford. It boasts a Grade 1 listed, Italianate garden designed by Edwardian architect Harold Peto when Iford Manor was his home from 1899-1933.
Our task was to erect 800m of 2m high deer netting with rabbit wire at the base which was dug into the ground to prevent animals trying to dig underneath. All on creosote posts.
Also a few candidates for the 2021 calendar!!!
