Renovation Diary: October 2020

Week 40/20: 2nd October, 2020

Meanwhile the Weekday Warriors continue largely unseen repairing the roof, taking down a chimney and various other vital activities.

New blinds for one of the bays

A very big thank you to Sarah Howard for making and fitting the new blinds at The Swan. This is a great addition and will help with the ambience as the evenings get cooler. She will soon be working with Green Room Pupils to provide blinds for the second window.

Week 44/20: 30th October, 2020

Things are steadily progressing. The team are currently digging out a new cellar drop for the beer delivery. Also minor adjustments have taken place to the fire doors.

Sadly we had to remove a chimney stack due to its dangerous condition, the bricks though will be used to replace damaged faced ones on the outside of the pub.
