Cutting out the frame pockets
On Friday, 16th November 2012, work commenced on cutting out the pockets in the Tower wall. This is in preparation for the installation of the base girders for the new metal bell frame, which will be installed in the clock room. We are very grateful to Bob Buchanan , Phil Mellor and Jack Locket from Morgan Sindall who cut out the eleven pockets in the sandstone tower wall during Friday and Saturday morning. They returned on Monday morning joined by Mike Thompson and Tony Lockett to take away the stone rubble.
