Putting in the plaques for our 2008 courses at Nabs Wood

Nabs Wood was the scene of a tragic event in 1838 where 26 children drowned in the Huskar Pit Disaster. To keep the woods as a fitting memorial to the children our dry stone walling courses are rebuilding the walls around the wood.

After each years courses we place plaques in the wall with the names of those that have been on our courses, those who have very kindly donated stone and those who have helped out.

In March 2009 three past students kindly gave up their time to place 2008 plaques in the walls where the courses had built their part of the walls. This video shows the courses in progress and the plaques being paced in the walls.

I'd like to thank all past students, donators and helpers so very much for their efforts which have been brilliant and especially those students who returned and proudly placed their plaques in the walls.
