| The newly restored sign |
Andy writes:-
'It is with considerable pleasure that
villagers now have a lovely village sign back where it belongs, rather than
languishing broken in a garage after a car demolished it in July, and it is
looking lovelier than ever.
Local tradesman Phil Scott oversaw the
work, from ground-works to setting the new green oak post on its foundation and
repainting the sign itself. To ensure the brick plinth could properly
incorporate new knapped flint detailing, Phil also utilised the services of
expert local bricklayer and friend Lee, who did a superb job as the pictures
attest.
Thankfully neither the driver nor
passenger in the car were injured after their car suddenly veered into the sign
in July, before bouncing back onto the road and then veering once again off the
road through a hedge and a number of fence posts. The damage to the car was
considerable, but amazingly no airbags went off, so seat belts alone saved the
passengers - we sincerely hope the newly
restored post, sign and plinth have a very long and uneventful life.'
