There was a guided hard hat tour of New Inn last week and I was amazed at how much the old building and the new build had progressed.
New Inn, although still roofless is enjoying the attention and is looking good. The chimneys have been repaired and some of the roof structures strengthened. This has been a major task and is taking a considerable amount of time.
Bob the joiner, has removed most of the windows and repaired them individually by hand. Real workmanship!
The new build at the complex is following the line of the old barns which collapsed long ago. The roof will be the same height as the previous building and larch, from National Trust Ashridge Estate, is being used for the roof timbers. The new build will become the 150 seater restaurant and shop.
We can’t wait for these wonderful new facilities!
