Nice gable ended treatment. You don't see that too often.

The building we were working on is over 350 years old and deemed a historical building, to do any building work on these type of buildings need speacial planning permision from English heritage.
Below is a list of the grades;
The buildings are graded to show their relative architectural or historic interest:
Grade I buildings are of exceptional interest
Grade II* are particularly important buildings of more than special interest
Grade II are of special interest, warranting every effort to preserve them
Listing currently protects 500,000 or so buildings, of which the majority - over 90% - are Grade II. Grade I and II* buildings may be eligible for English Heritage grants for urgent major repairs.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Dave

Did you use lead bibs on those courses that the keyways nearly line up on?
I love those small jobs.

Yes Frank we did, we set it out on the ground first and worked out where everything was going, as there random slate we sized the lenghts first then set it all out with the least cuts possible.
It cant b helped when the bonds come so close so theres lead like you said where its less than a 4" side cover.
Cheers
Dave
