Renovation of 1/2 mile long 200 year old wall continues..

Dedicated craftsmen have been working diligently along the wall surrounding Osterley Park...giving it a deserved refurbishment.Bricks had become loose or were missing...and brushing and repointing was obviously necessary.As funding became available..another stretch of wall was tackled..Now the craftsmen have completed a long stretch from the Main Gate eastwards along Jersey Raod  and soon will be at the Ridgeway Road North Junction.So if you want to see the 200 year old "Georgian?" wall before it's total repair..drive or walk by soon!

Jim,In 200 hundred years, how will our time be described?  Can't be "Elizabethan"; so I am concerned about the "Berlin Scrawl".Will "dedicated craftsmen" still be employed on the Firestone wall?  Will they be refurbishing the section from what was the main entrance to Firestone's westwards along the Great West Road?  Brushing may be necessary, but the 2005 monstrosity certainly will not be requiring "repointing"!
