#Bee Friendly? Naaa, it's a 'Bee Frenzy' in our poppy packed #pollinator beds @NpTbridge #FONTB @Keep_Wales_Tidy East Anchorage Garden! Windy, but our flowers are holding on to their petals and the bees their proboscises - and thankfully in greater numbers than last year!
Anchorage buildings on the east and west side of our @NpTbridge house anchoring bolts for suspension cables supporting the cross-river boom. Built with stone with a finish known as 'rough-facing'. Here's Josh from #AtumStone showing how this was crafted over 100 years ago!
We've had masonry activity of all sorts down on the East side of our @NpTbridge. Heritage stonemasons have been recreating rough face stonework to be used in wall restoration along the eastern bank - and in the Anchorage #Garden, Mason #bees have been filling up our bee hotels!
