Work restarted on one of the group’s projects for 2020 – Birkhill Clay Mine Hutch Display. Having identified a suitable spot before the Covid-19 lockdown, work commenced on clearing away plants (many of which were our trusted friends the ‘weeds’) and moving tonnes of soil to enable a level bed to place the small sections of sleepers down and ultimately some original track from the incline (spare section found under the bridge!). Weather permitting it is hoped to get these part of the project completed in a couple of weeks, so that we can look at rebuilding the hutch and putting onto the track.
