dry stone bridge - my garden project phase 12b





Just thought I'd pop this onto the blog. It's the latest phase of my garden project which has been ongoing for some time. It spans a storm ditch at the rear of my house adjacent to the Trans Pennine Trail in Silkstone Common. I'll post the full tale of the garden project later.


This is the driest the ditch has been since early May. It's been a foot deep in water and smelly sludge for most of the year making building a VERY difficult task.





With this part of my garden project I was assisted by the Hadrian's International Walling Team of Jalda (Germany), Gui (Brazil) and Dean (Cawthorn UK) - many thanks to them for their help.

Stone bridges no doubt are fantastic, but constructing stone bridges is quite a time consuming job.
