Helping Volunteers Construct Walls for Swing Bridge
Womersleys worked with and trained Canal and River Trust volunteers to rebuild the brick walls that create the well for Pocklington Swing Bridge. We used hydraulic limes and traditional bricks to replace the modern enclosures of the swing bridge to complete conservation and restoration works on this stretch of the canal.
