I think the first post describing external repairs covered 2014 and is here.
2016
Prior to the Garden Party at Brewood Hall in 2016 (described in the post here) repairs were carried out on the garden paths at the front of Brewood Hall. Work started with the delivery of materials by a large lorry equipped with a remotely-controlled self loading/unloading hydraulic crane.

A couple of days later, a large skip was delivered to carry away spoil from the repairs.

The paths at the front of the building were relaid by Jim and Pete from A. M. Griffiths, together with Dave who has looked after the gardens (extending to about one acre) for some years.

2017
During 2017, improvements were carried out to the path at the rear of the building where damaged stone slabs were replaced by reclaimed paviours to better match the paved area outside the kitchen and the small barn. Further work will eventually improve the adjacent decorative cobbled area.

To gain access to the front elevation allowing repairs to the decorative cement quoins, a 'Genie' Self-Propelled Articulating Boom Z-45/25 was hired in. Whilst the machine was on site, some high-level repointing of brickwork was also carried out. It was an amazing machine and I took some pictures from an elevated position. The work was completed prior to the Brewood Garden Party in 2017 (described in the post here).

In November 2017 I visited Cawarden Brick and Tile Reclamation Yard near Rugeley with Brendan where we obtained sufficient reclaimed Staffordshire Blue Edgers for the front path which Dave later installed.
