Tom Seale's report from site today.
Dad and myself have had another day up at Midford today. We did a bit of general tidying up but spent most of the time continuing to dig out the drain behind the station buildings. This was thickly matted with roots from the trees behind and interspersed by the odd collection of bricks etc. so progress was somewhat slow going. Another couple of assaults on it should have it finished so I can start the measuring up. I have taken away our collection of glass bottles and plastics, next time I'll remove the metalwork including the child's trampoline kindly donated by an anonymous benefactor. Hopefully keeping the site clean will discourage any further tipping.

That lovely hammer in those scenes! Remember the song, "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" ?
How about a song writing contest for an updated version featuring this valiant Army Surplus Hammer "vanquishing the foes" at Midford !
Thor, eat your heart out.
Brian,
That hammer was indeed very big and very heavy but it certainly did the trick in breaking up those large slabs of brickwork that lay on the concrete base - albeit a knackering endeavour
As Tom said, the hammer was Army surplus and it was the biggest he could find. If you're going to get one, get a big one!
Cheers,
Stuart Seale
