These pictures show the corrosion and damage to most of the steel work. Any cavity was filled with years of leaf mold and this had eventually resulted in severe corrosion. We had hoped to load it onto a trailer for removal but this was going to be very difficult without causing serious damage to the structures so we dismantled it in situ and fetched it away in parts. The bits are spread between my garage and Rons. Ron is in charge of painting amongst other things!
