The work comprised of insecticide spraying, the fixing of new oak beams, together with 3y,ooo cleft oak shingles, gilding of clock dial, the installation of a "Mandco" Lightning Conductor system. This contract was carried out with only the scaffolding as shown, and is regarded amongst architects and engineers as the largest contract of its kind ever attempted in modern times. Truly a tribute to our craftsmen. |
