This month we finished erecting a temporary shelter over the turntable.
Brunel Swivel Bridge

Shelter and wooden stop. Lots of sun, teamwork and just the right number of volunteers. What more could anyone ask for?

Timbers were finished last month. Now to start boarding it	Ian looking very relaxed at the beginning of the day

Graham came down from Birmingham to help. He measured the rotten stops before dismantling	The stops came apart quite easily
Pretty rotten
Charlie came to help. He has grown since we last saw him. He did a great job weeding and helping us	Charlie looking really pleased with himself having just destroyed the very rotten timber stop!

Mike Bone marked out and started cutting joints in the large timbers needed for a replacement stop
