Carriage shed, November progress film

9 November, 2023

Our contractors are really stuck into our major project now. With the new steelwork in place, the block work walls have been built and roof panels are going into place.

Parts of the building can now dry out, ready for the final work on the polished concrete floor.

Here's the latest film of the work https://youtu.be/ULL02YKv0uU

We're halfaway to our £15,000 target, with £7,500 raised. We need to find another £7,500 to install a roller shutter door and fit out the electrics. We need to have the building in use by early 2024, so please consider a donation if you can by clicking the link. Every pound counts, so thank you for your support.

The carriage shed will be an essential asset in the short term as we reopen the northern half of the GCR for trains and in the long term reunified future as well when we're part of an 18 mile railway.
