It’s that time of year again – things really beginning to grow. And look! Here’s a bench we planted yesterday.

The Newnham Church Bus Stop Bench, East Kent.
Fine weather pre booked for the planting of NPC-BS (Newnham Parish Council – Bus Stop) project.
Yes, it’s a heavy piece. The following images give an insight into the installation process. Firstly is setting those beautiful cast leg bases into the banking.
The 1st image shows Sue Gunner of Newnham Parish Council with Murray at the ready just as the bus pulls away.



We even had a little helper – Peter, who came along just at the right time to play the shapes game with the end caps.
You can just make out the stainless steel shim plates on top of the cast blocks as the seating board unit is set onto the bases.

Oak, stainless steel with white cast concrete base settings.
See earlier postings for design drawings and workshop creation.

You can see the back edge line on top of the seat. This demarks the position of the Upholstery seat section.
More on this project as it develops.
