A new project at an old location. The task is to build a
“commemorative” wall to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Bewerley Park from its days as a 'Camp School' in 1940.
The wall will incorporate a stone carved
plaque (measuring 20 ins x 20ins) produced by Joseph Hayton, together with 8
smaller plaques (measuring 9 ins x 9 ins) carved by the students at the
Bewerley Centre.
The stone to be used for the wall has been sourced from the old demonstration walls.

| The old demonstration walls were constructed during the Autumn of 2006 and were topped out in January 2007 by the NAONB Walling Group. The wall was dismantled and the
stone moved to the location of the new wall by the Tuesday NCVs during September
2014 |
The design for the new wall has been created by Richard
Howard and the schematic below shows how it will look when completed.
The team for today’s activity was Barry, Catriona, Paul, Richard H, Roderick,
Roger and Tony.

The task begins by removing the fencing from the bridge end
