Winkle Street Hedge Laying - Tuesday 6th Feb 2007



This was the Green Gym's third visit to Winkle Street, and it was a glorious, crisp sunny day with wall to wall blue skies. The work is well advanced, with all the hazel along the side of the stream to the right of the gateway (if you have your back to the houses) neatly coppiced and the hedge laying on this side is looking good. Pleaching of the last remaining trees to the left of the gateway was quite a challenge due to their size and it took over two hours to finally get them laid into the remaining gap...! This side now requires staking and heathering and once completed it is intended that an interpretation board will be provided detailing the history of Winkle Street.

Once again....thanks to Carrie for the text and pictures....!
