March 2004
Fire Shed Collapses In High Winds

During the high winds of 20th March the side walls blew down bringing to the end any hope of having this building restored for the open day.

This wall had been a problem for a long-time as it had peeled away from the side wall as in the wartime rush to build the base it had not been tied in. Nature has now decided for us and the debris has now been cleared and R&R builders (aka Richard and Roger) have commenced the rebuild of this wall.

A decision has yet to be made on it’s future. For safety reasons it is likely that the remaining walls will be pulled down and the site cleared. This building was in a perilous state and badly needed restoration, sixty years of neglect has finely ended any hope of restoring this building. One option being considered is that it may be possible to build a new fire shed following the same design as the original, if this was to be the case then this would be a long term project with building work unlikely to start this year.
