Had a quick look at the furniture in the battery room today and found that the cupboard is George 6th stamped and came via somewhere in Cramlington. The long bench has a fairly large cable attached to the back – can’t work out what it was for. And finally we decided to find out why the wash basin in the guardhouse didn’t drain – dug out the drain outside (was full of mud) and it now drains very well. Need to get a proper cover for it although the bit of brick and cast iron drainpipe will do for now.
Removed loads of mud from other pipes too while we had the manhole cover off.
