All the wood left over is recycled
The original fire place has been stripped out.
The second ground floor bedroom is mapped out
The old radiators wait to be reinstalled one of the new bedrooms.
The raised modern pine floor has been removed to reveal what we hoped for....a larger amount of the original tiled floor that can be the bistro remain the bistro floor.
All the toilets are stripped out to reveal to very old brick walls
The signatures of the WWII American airmen have been partly revealed. These had been covered over by previous schemes. The bulk of them are lost forever sadly as previous owner painted and plastered over them
More airman signatures are revealed. Some have fallen away from the ceiling so we gave collected them to frame in the restored Roebuck Inn.
All the upstairs has had the plaster removed and the brickwork looks fantastic...
One can now see through from one end of the upstairs to the other
The stairs down to the loos are being stripped back now as the toilets become unisex
An old fire has been found on the upper floor which can be incorporated in to a new bedroom
