Meeting at 10.30am we will visit a lime kiln in Abbey Woods, in the early stages of being consolidated. The contractor from Northumbria Conservation Masonry, the project manager from Countryside Consultants and volunteer Peter Singer will give presentations at the site explaining its history and the techniques for consolidation.
After lunch we will move on to Headlam village and the restoration of the packhorse bridge on the green, currently on the Heritage at Risk Register. Again the restoration works and techniques will be explained. The event will finish around 2.30.
