A flash of orange 🍊
Do any buildings near you boast a beautiful pantile roof?
They're most commonly found in East Central Scotland, the Lothians and Fife! Originally, imported stock from Holland would've landed on the East coast.

#LovelyLychGates @BreconCathedral dates from 1900, now in need of reroofing, so will be more lovely soon, in collaboration with @rooftraining

A big thanks to the volunteers @Papplewick_PS for showing us their boiler house earlier today. A similar fireproof roof to that at our @SudburyGasworks project so great to see what it might look like when finished! @JBoonArchitects #conservation

Any forestry people out there speculate on how sustainable current Uk consumption of timber framing species such as Larch and Douglas fir is? @andyheald @WoollyMaggot
Lovely
A fine example of vernacular and quit unique.....this #cob building has no stone plinth! A remarkable survivor of ancient construction practices. #Bedfordshire #cobrepairs with thecobspecialist.co.uk

The ones of us that do are only custodians, they'll all change hands in time.
They are a blast to drive, and the public react to them with great affection - at bus stops it is common for people to stick their hands out, even for the old ones!

Hi Stephen. We did make it to Dore Abbey. Something really special about it too. I went many moons ago when I was a @SPAB1877 @wmcft1 in 1999 but it was a bit of a whistle stop tour. Also visited Rowlestone and Kilpeck. Very different
Cheers Sara. It was a great session and speak soon
Great to see @JordanConserv passionately championing craft skills and upholding excellence in our @Conservators_uk accreditation round table. “Be proud of your creative side.”
