This project involved the restoration of three unique listed structures within the Arboretum Park namely the Bandstand, the Aviary And the Chinese Bell Tower.

 

The Bandstand

Following structural timber and joinery repairs to cills, windows and the re-hanging of sash windows, safety glass was installed to allow the bandstand to be used in all weathers. Hard landscaping, steps, seating and disabled access now makes the bandstand accessible to all.

The Aviary

Following the installation of stone kerbsand metal railings the aviary was reformed using powder coated stainless steel mesh.


The Chinese Bell Tower

The works to the bell tower involved the removal and resetting of the plinth steps, new carved inscription panel, structural timber, masonry and plastic repairs. The four cannons were removed, cleaned and repainted, a new galvanised finial and bell hanger were errected and a new replica bronze bell was also cast and hung.
